Lerner Enterprises has awarded Cushman & Wakefield the assignment to represent Lerner in the leasing of existing and to-be-constructed office properties totaling millions of square feet spread throughout the Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland markets.

"Simply stated, our role in this expanded relationship is to create asset value and advance the development footprint of Lerner," said Jim Underhill, Regional Manager for Cushman & Wakefield.

Diamond, who is pursuing other entrepreneurial real estate ventures at this time, are both extremely familiar with the Lerner portfolio.
