Jeffrey Hipschman, the newly-hired CEO of Binswanger, believes that the evolving office and industrial markets offer plenty of opportunities for the firm, writes Paul Schwedelson for the Philadelphia Business Journal.

Hipschman takes on his new role at a time where there is a seismic shift in how office space is used and the industrial market is stabilizing after record growth in the e-commerce sector.

“You look at the office marketplace in terms of return to the office, in terms of different workplace strategies,” said Hipschman. “Within the industrial sector, lots of shift going on in terms of the overall economy and logistics and [third-party logistics] and how they’re impacting the marketplace.”

Hipschman is the first person outside the Binswanger family to lead the more-than-90-year-old Philadelphia-based commercial real estate brokerage firm. Prior to his new position, Hipschman served as senior managing director and market leader of CBRE’s New Jersey offices for 15 years.

“The creative energy in this firm is both refreshing and unique,” said Hipschman. “It is energizing for me to be in an environment like this where there’s so much creative energy. That’s one of the primary draws and opportunities here.”
