Berkadia

Closed $1 billion-plus in production volume since joining Berkadia

Completed largest portfolio sale by unit count in the history of Indiana

Winner, Berkadia’s 2020 CEO Circle Award

Chris Bruzas received his Bachelor of Science in Management from the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University with a certificate in Business Foundations. Shortly after graduating, he began his career in commercial real estate at Marcus & Millichap. In 2015, Bruzas joined Berkadia as an associate director. 

After only two years, Bruzas was promoted to director and in March of 2020, he was promoted to senior director. During his time at Berkadia, Bruzas has closed over $1 billion in production volume. While his main focuses are the markets within Indiana and Kentucky, Chris has closed deals in seven different states. 

In January of 2020, Bruzas closed the largest portfolio sale by unit count in the history of Indiana. He was awarded Berkadia’s 2020 CEO Circle Award, a distinguished achievement, honoring the very top tier of investment sales producers across the entire company. 

These are just a few reasons we chose Bruzas as one of the Chicago/Midwest 2021 Next Generation Award winners. Connect Media’s fifth annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders in the commercial real estate industry who are likely to be influential for years to come.
