TAMPA — Commercial real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield named Scott Garlick to lead its Tampa office as managing principal.

Garlick replaces Larry Richey, who has led the firm's Tampa operations for the past quarter century. Since September 2015, Richey has led the company's nine Florida offices, from Jacksonville to Miami, as Florida market leader.

Garlick, in a statement, says he hopes to “continue to nurture the collaborative spirit that helps make our professionals the best in the business.”
