From a globe-trotting economist to a psychology major who found success managing the day-to-day needs of commercial tenants, CPE<\/em>\u2019s 2025 Rising Star Influence Award<\/a> winners represent a wide range of backgrounds and career paths. What unites them is a shared momentum. Each of these eight professionals is helping shape the future of commercial real estate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, they reflect the breadth of talent driving the industry forward. Here\u2019s a closer look at how these professionals are making their mark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gold winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As a senior member of CBRE Investment Management\u2019s insights and intelligence team, Wei Luo plays a central role in shaping how the firm and its clients understand the global economy. She leads the development of the CBRE\u2019s macroeconomic outlook<\/a>, tracks capital markets intelligence and oversees a range of AI-driven research initiatives, operating at the intersection of data, markets and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luo traces that multidisciplinary path back to Penn State University, where she found a program that allowed her to combine a talent for economics with a growing fascination for real estate, architecture and global travel. Touring trophy office buildings along the way only deepened that interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPenn State had a good undergrad real estate program\u2014not every university has that.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of her professors was a real estate developer who encouraged students to apply for CBRE\u2019s summer internship program. Luo was accepted and that opportunity led to a full-time role in 2014, when she graduated with a degree in economics and a minor in real estate. In 2021, she transitioned to CBRE Investment Management, where her scope and influence continued to expand. As her work evolved, so did her focus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAI naturally became a topic of interest because it was the groundbreaking technology advancement,\u201d she said. \u201cI had to study it as an economist and also because I was curious about its impact on real estate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That curiosity led to a breakthrough. Luo spearheaded what became the firm\u2019s first AI-driven research initiative, an effort widely regarded as the first of its kind in the industry. Until 2024, the prevailing view was that the global real estate secondaries market totaled roughly $10 billion. By applying
AI-backed analysis<\/a> to uncover data in an opaque market, Luo and her team demonstrated that the true size was closer to $25 billion. In doing so, she defined an entirely new benchmark, creating a reference point now used by clients, competitors and the press alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem solver<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Gold winner<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

An innate curiosity and a genuinely collaborative approach have helped propel Rachel Gines into her leadership role as senior vice president of capital markets at CenterSquare Investment Management. Since joining the firm in 2017, immediately after graduating from The Wharton School, Gines has distinguished herself by building strong, trust-based relationships with institutional consultants and large investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI see myself less as a salesperson and more as a consultant and problem solver,\u201d said Gines. \u201cMy job is to understand what your problems are and see if I have a viable solution for you. I go into conversations not seeking to get anything out of anybody but to really understand what problems they\u2019re facing and how our products could be a great fit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gines\u2019 early success leading fundraising and consultant relations efforts in the Western U.S. helped earn her a promotion to vice president in 2023. Today, she oversees CenterSquare\u2019s business development and consultant relations efforts across the Central U.S., while also playing an increasingly influential role within the firm\u2019s private equity real estate platform. She serves as the primary capital markets contact for the value-add team and leads execution for future product launches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past few years, Gines\u2019 impact has been especially visible. She played a key role in the successful $100 million close of Fund VI and built a $1 billion pipeline of investment opportunities, drawing on her strength in sourcing deals and cultivating long-term relationships. She also onboarded and managed the only analyst for the company\u2019s capital markets team in 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to be named a Rising Star,\u201d said Gines. \u201cRising stars need propulsion to a certain extent. Some of that\u2019s innate and some of that\u2019s from the environment in which we exist. I give a ton of credit to the firm and the team.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silver winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tyler Waller, senior director of capital markets at Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp., starts every day with a pipeline call alongside his junior partners. \u201cThis way we know where everything stands, who needs help where and if I have to intervene,\u201d said Waller. \u201cThen, I work through my own pipeline backwards\u2014all the deals I have in processing\u2014to ensure all lenders have what they need in order to meet the close of escrow date if it\u2019s an acquisition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That daily cadence reflects the entrepreneurial culture Waller has embraced during his nearly eight years at Marcus & Millichap, where autonomy and accountability go hand-in-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile interviewing at firms, Marcus & Millichap really resonated with me because they have a tremendous sales program and they provide you with all the tools to be successful. The rest is up to you,\u201d he said. Waller liked the fact that the company offered a more direct route to earning a spot on a specific team instead of the traditional, slow-moving analyst track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, he closed 35 transactions totaling more than $135 million, demonstrating both volume and versatility across deal types. One of his most impactful transactions was a
$14 million hotel acquisition loan in Fayetteville, Ark. Initially awarded to a competing broker, the deal returned to Waller with less than 30 days to close. With the transaction at risk, Waller stepped in, met directly with the listing broker and seller and successfully negotiated a critical 15-day extension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accelerate execution, he partnered with a colleague in the Dallas office to support third-party inspections and lender site visits. The team secured full loan approval and was on track to close early\u2014until a major equity partner unexpectedly withdrew, creating a $2.5 million shortfall. Acting quickly, Waller sourced a bridge lender and structured a cash-out refinancing on another one of the client\u2019s assets. The refinancing funded in just five days, allowing the acquisition to close on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bespoke landlord<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bronze winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Lukas Huberman has already developed a distinct approach to commercial real estate ownership and management, which has earned him recognition both within BLT Enterprises and across the industry. Based in Santa Monica, Calif., Huberman serves as vice president & director of acquisitions at the firm, which focuses on industrial and creative office assets and has owned and developed more than 5 million square feet of property throughout the West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huberman\u2019s philosophy builds on the legacy of his late father, BLT Founder Bernie Huberman, and the firm\u2019s \u201clifetime-landlord\u201d strategy, which emphasizes long-term relationships over transactional ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy dad\u2019s investment and operations thesis was that our tenants aren\u2019t just people paying rent,\u201d said Huberman. \u201cThey\u2019re our customers, and they deserve a white-glove experience. That lifetime-landlord approach also means growing and\/or subtracting with our tenants. If their business is heading in the wrong direction, we\u2019ll try to figure out a creative way to get them into something a little smaller. If they\u2019re expanding, we expect to be their landlord in the next building. It\u2019s a bespoke service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the past three years, he\u2019s played a key role in more than $165 million in acquisitions totaling 364,000 square feet across California, as well as over
$150 million in dispositions spanning more than 240,000 square feet. In 2024, Huberman also led the firm\u2019s first out-of-state acquisition of an industrial property in Las Vegas. The deal strengthened BLT\u2019s long-term relationship with PepsiCo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known as a creative dealmaker with strong instincts, Huberman balances calculated risk-taking with careful preparation. \u201cKeeping an eye on global market trends and the geopolitical situation in the world helps us understand what\u2019s happening in the marketplace in our asset class and other asset classes, and how that\u2019s going to affect BLT\u2019s portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bronze winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the strongest tenant-facing talent comes from outside traditional real estate pipelines. That was the case in 2017, when Columbia Property Trust followed its instincts and hired Jonathan Huynh, a psychology major from Sacred Heart University with a background in hospitality, a passion for fashion and no prior real estate experience. He joined the firm as a tenant service coordinator, starting at the front desk and quickly taking on a wide range of responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything has helped prepare me for the work I do today,\u201d said Huynh, who has since risen to the role of tenant engagement manager across Columbia\u2019s premier Manhattan portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His early tenure coincided with a pivotal moment for the office sector. \u201cI started at 315 Park Ave. S. and 799 Broadway when we were responding to the post COVID-19 workplace,\u201d he recalled. \u201cColumbia Property Trust was at the forefront of elevating the workplace experience to get people back to the office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing on his own experiences with hospitality brands through dining and travel, Huynh began applying those touchpoints to the office environment. Over time, he helped curate a wide range of programming at Columbia\u2019s properties, including high-profile pop-up events that activated buildings beyond traditional office use. Fashion runway shows, in particular, generated media buzz while positioning the assets as culture-forward destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Huynh leads activation efforts at Terminal Warehouse<\/a>, a 1.3 million-square-foot redevelopment in Manhattan\u2019s West Chelsea neighborhood. In that role, he oversees amenity buildouts, coordinates large-scale marketing activations and supports leasing efforts. Valued by Columbia Property Trust for his tenant retention magic, Huynh recognizes the importance of face-to-face time with tenants\u2014even when there\u2019s no immediate issue to address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuman beings want to be taken care of everywhere they go, whether it\u2019s a hotel, a restaurant or the workplace,\u201d he said. \u201cMy role is to listen closely.\u201d

Bronze winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Charlotte Elstob knows a good deal when she sees one. She joined JLL more than 14 years ago and has remained with the firm ever since. \u201cI\u2019m a JLL lifer,\u201d she said. \u201cI came straight from Oxford Brookes University into a graduate training program with JLL in London.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, Elstob has developed a global career spanning both the U.K. and U.S. markets, with experience across multiple asset classes. Before relocating to New York in 2019, she advised premier shopping mall owners and prestigious London estates, guiding retail development strategies and helping clients maximize value across diverse portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elstob\u2019s move to New York marked a fresh chapter. She stepped into a newly created role as vice president of global retail business development, where she focused on expanding JLL\u2019s U.S. tenant relationship business with international retailers while also supporting U.S.-based clients pursuing global expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2022, during a stint in Los Angeles, Elstob made a strategic shift from retail to industrial. She led occupier services business development for JLL\u2019s Industrial group, helping build out the firm\u2019s tenant representation platform. Recently, she returned to New York and now operates as a national tenant representation expert, acting on behalf of major JLL clients across the U.S. and internationally. Among her recent accomplishments is securing the national account with global logistics company DHL, which she now leads across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have been across so many different sectors, and I\u2019ve done so many different roles at JLL,\u201d said Elstob, who is widely known for her consultative methodology. \u201cI was fortunate that when I transitioned to the U.S., I was in a management business development role. I was able to take the time and build relationships and play the long game. I got to know people really well and understand their businesses before we were in there trying to pitch them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bronze award winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Timothy Aguilar, senior vice president of development for Link Logistics\u2019 Northeast region, was drawn to development at an early age. He recalls a specific childhood moment when public infrastructure first captured his imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were driving over the Verrazano Bridge going into New York,\u201d he reminisced. \u201cI was around 9. I remember thinking I wanted to be an engineer and be in development. That\u2019s when it all started.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aguilar went on to major in engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. \u201cI had always looked at civil engineering as a good stepping stone to get into the real estate development side,\u201d he said. \u201cThat team carries so much of the projects that we work on from a development standpoint.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Link Logistics, Aguilar oversees the full life cycle of complex development projects, from entitlements and permitting to construction execution. His role includes managing budgets and schedules, coordinating construction teams and ensuring projects meet the firm\u2019s quality standards. \u201cI\u2019ve had the good fortune to work on some of the most marquee development projects at Link, particularly very complicated brownfield redevelopments,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of his most complex projects is Trident Maple Point Logistics Center, a 711,000-square-foot, three-phase Class A development in Revere, Mass., which Aguilar described as a \u201c10 out of 10\u201d in terms of difficulty. The former oil tank farm required extensive remediation, including the removal of 23 oil tanks, major ground improvements and compliance with flood resiliency requirements before construction could begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aguilar is also leading development at Arrowwood Logistics Center, a 354,400-square-foot project built on a 30-acre former landfill site with proximity to the New Jersey Turnpike, Port Newark and Newark Liberty International Airport. \u201cThe New Jersey industrial development community has known about this very unique site for decades,\u201d Aguilar said. \u201cI don\u2019t know that anybody thought it would ever actually get developed because of all the challenges. It\u2019s my pride and joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creative<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bronze winner<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Real estate was not Garrett Fierstein\u2019s first career. A graduate of Florida State University, he initially pursued a creative path in videography and photography before discovering commercial real estate. Since joining Marcus & Millichap Capital Corp. in 2017, Fierstein has steadily advanced and now serves as senior director of capital markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve lived a few lives,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m very fortunate for where I landed. I was introduced to the real estate industry through a close friend who was already working in the space. Seeing his success really sparked my interest. I got an opportunity early on and, once I did, I knew it was the right fit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That unconventional background has translated to strong execution. In 2024, Fierstein closed 57 transactions totaling more than $126 million. His largest deal\u2014a $9.1 million financing for a retail property in Georgia\u2014highlighted his ability to structure complex transactions with both precision and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA lot of my growth has come through trial by fire,\u201d he noted. \u201cEven nine years into my career, I\u2019m still learning every day, which is one of the things I enjoy most about real estate. I love the puzzle-solving aspect of the work\u2014understanding a client\u2019s goals, identifying constraints and structuring a solution that works.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That problem-solving mindset was also evident in the $9 million financing of Grand Oaks and North Point Apartments in Memphis, Tenn., which closed in 2024. The transaction facilitated a partnership buyout and was financed through a Florida-based credit union, despite the assets being out of state and the borrowers having no prior relationship with the lender. Fierstein sourced the lender for its more aggressive terms and negotiated a simplified insurance requirement\u2014the lesser of replacement cost or loan amount, with no wind coverage\u2014allowing the deal to close on time and under the original terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe best part of my work is the opportunity to connect with people from different backgrounds,\u201d he said. \u201cEvery transaction brings new personalities, new challenges and new ways of thinking, which keeps the work dynamic and rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
