CBRE has clawed back an old associate from JLL after he’d spent more than 20 years at other firms, Commercial Observer has learned.
Matt Ogle has rejoined the brokerage as executive vice president of retail leasing in New York after two decades representing major occupiers like Chelsea Piers Fitness in regional expansions, according to CBRE.
Ogle has been at JLL for the last 11 years, most recently holding the title of executive managing director. CBRE was Ogle’s entry into the real estate business when he was hired in 2005. At the time, he had remained at the brokerage for 11 months, according to his LinkedIn profile.
“[Ogle’s] addition further strengthens our industry-leading team and reflects the continued demand for strategic retail advisory services across New York,” Michael Taxin, senior managing director at CBRE, said in a statement. “We are committed to attracting and empowering the industry’s top talent, and Matt’s experience, relationships, and track record of success make him an exceptional addition to CBRE.”
Ogle appears to be a nimble negotiator in the retail space, having helped online financial trading platform Moomoo secure a 2,500-square-foot retail lease at JEMB Realty’s 50 West 34th Street in September 2025.
“Helping clients identify and capitalize on market opportunities while serving as a trusted adviser has been the foundation of my career,” Ogle said in a statement. “What excites me most about joining CBRE is the opportunity to work alongside so many admired professionals and longtime friends who are among the best in the business.”
His relationship with Chelsea Piers led to a 72,000-square-foot deal for the fitness brand at 24-11 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, Queens, in 2023, as well as a 55,780-square-foot lease at SL Green Realty’s One Madison Avenue in 2021, which was nominated for Deal of the Year by the Real Estate Board of New York in 2022. He brokered both deals alongside Erin Grace.
