Aracibo Quintana and Marty Arrivo Join Cushman & Wakefield to Expand South Florida Retail Platform

Key Terms

mixed-use development technical

A mixed-use development is a single project that combines two or more types of real estate—such as housing, stores, offices, hotels or entertainment—into one coordinated property or neighborhood. For investors it matters because this blend can spread risk and create steady demand: like a mini-town where residents, workers and visitors support each other, diversified income streams and foot traffic can make returns more stable and help protect value during market swings.

tenant representation technical

Tenant representation is a service where a real estate expert helps individuals or businesses find and negotiate the best rental or lease terms for a property. It’s like having a knowledgeable guide who ensures the renter gets a fair deal and the space that meets their needs. For investors, understanding tenant representation highlights how tenants secure favorable agreements, which can impact the value and stability of commercial real estate assets.

Quintana Joins as Executive Managing Director, while Arrivo Joins as Executive Director

MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cushman & Wakefield announced today that retail advisors Aracibo Quintana and Marty Arrivo have joined the firm in Miami as Executive Managing Director and Executive Director, respectively, strengthening its retail leasing and advisory capabilities across South Florida and the broader Americas region.

Aracibo Quintana

Quintana and Arrivo bring decades of experience advising global brands, developers, and owners on retail strategy, leasing, and market expansion. Their addition comes as South Florida continues to attract inbound population growth, international investment and new retail development, reinforcing the region’s role as a gateway market for domestic and global brands.

“Aracibo and Marty are highly respected advisors with deep market knowledge and strong relationships across the retail industry,” said Victoria Malkin, President, Americas Markets at Cushman & Wakefield. “As we continue to grow our retail platform across the Americas, attracting top talent in key markets remains a priority. Their experience strengthens our ability to provide strategic advice and exceptional service to retail clients operating in an increasingly competitive environment.”

Quintana and Arrivo join Cushman & Wakefield from RIPCO Real Estate, where they served as Executive Vice Presidents. Prior to that, they co-founded ”Acre,” a Miami-based retail advisory firm.

Over the course of his career, Quintana has advised retailers and brands on more than 1,000 transactions across four continents and previously held senior real estate leadership roles at Apple and Nike. As a local market advisor to global brands, Aracibo has procured first to market retail concepts for Nike, Lucid Motors, lululemon, Olukai, Melin, Perigold and Wayfair.

“South Florida continues to see strong demand from retailers, developers and international brands looking to expand in the U.S.,” said Quintana. “The market has evolved into a critical entry point for global brands seeking long-term growth opportunities and a stronger connection to consumers across the Americas. Cushman & Wakefield’s global platform and connectivity across major gateway markets positions us to help clients execute expansion strategies with both local market insight and international reach.”

Arrivo brings more than 24 years of retail real estate experience focused on mixed-use development, large-scale project leasing strategy and tenant representation of industry leading restaurant, entertainment and hospitality brands. His work has included major retail destinations and redevelopment projects across Miami and West Palm Beach, including CityPlace, a mixed-use development by Related Companies.

“South Florida is experiencing significant retail and mixed-use development activity driven by population growth, tourism and evolving consumer demand,” said Arrivo. “From Miami to Palm Beach, brands are increasingly focused on places that offer world-class consumer experiences rich in culture, community and long-term relevance with consumers. The pace of development across the region continues to create compelling opportunities for both retailers and property owners.”

The team will work closely with Cushman & Wakefield’s retail leadership across gateway markets including New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco to support clients with market entry, expansion and portfolio strategy.

“South Florida continues to benefit from strong capital flows, global brand expansion and long-term retail demand,” said Alanna Loeffler, Senior Managing Director, Americas Retail Platform Lead at Cushman & Wakefield. “Aracibo and Marty further strengthen our ability to help clients enter and expand within the U.S. market through local execution, deep landlord relationships and connectivity to major retail hubs nationwide. Combined with the firm’s research, data and analytics capabilities, this delivers a more strategic approach for retail clients navigating growth.”
