Market Leader

As the elder statesman for the KBC NJ team, Marc has worked in New Jersey industrial real estate for more decades than he is comfortable admitting to at this point. Prior to joining KBC, Marc spent the better part of the most recent decade at Cushman & Wakefield, where his clients included Prologis, Link Industrial Properties, Black Creek Group, Penwood, Dermody, Lincoln Equities, First Industrial, the Rockefeller Group, and many others. Before Cushman & Wakefield, Mr. Petrella was First Vice President and Market Officer at Prologis, responsible for the overall performance and profitability of Prologis’s 18.6 million square foot real estate portfolio. His Prologis tenure was preceded by his term as a VP of Leasing for KEYSTONEPROPERTY TRUST where he had responsibility for their 11 million square foot New Jersey portfolio. Marc began his career in brokerage at CBRE back in the age of wooden ships and iron men as brokerage was one of the few jobs available at the time to those not made of iron. Mr. Petrella’s occupier clients range from Fortune 500 Corporations to local and regional companies. His experience spans all aspects of industrial real estate, including acquisition of land and buildings, site design, entitlement, development, lease and sale of build-to-suit and existing facilities, and the disposition of surplus properties as well as investment sales. When not working, Marc’s hobbies include doing whatever wife Cindy tells him, and Uber Black car work for his twin daughters’ transportation to swim, dance, music, and school.
