Orlando, Fla. (April 20, 2020) – CoStar Group, Inc., an analytics leader in the commercial real estate industry, recently announced the recipients of its annual Power Broker Awards, recognizing professionals and firms who closed the highest transaction volume in commercial real estate deals and leads in their respective markets. The CoStar Power Broker Awards recognize professionals ranging from office leasing, retail leasing, industrial leasing, and sales. Nine Foundry Commercial brokers in four markets received the recognition this year.
In Orlando, where the firm is headquartered, the office was named Top Leasing Firm. In addition, top office leasing brokers Gabriel De Jesus, John Pietkiewicz, Paul Reynolds, and Alex Rosario have been recognized as the most active local dealmakers with the prestigious industry award. In Charlotte, Foundry was recognized as the Top Leasing Firm, and Keely Hines was named a top broker in retail leasing in the market. In Jacksonville, also named Top Leasing Firm by CoStar, top office leasing brokers Brad Chrischilles and Andrew Hawkins were recognized as Power Brokers. And in Raleigh, brokers Alexis Lambeth and Jackson Rives were recognized with awards as top industrial leasing agents.
“2019 was an incredible year for Foundry Commercial as we realized the results of years of hard work to close on projects ranging from creative office leasing deals to large industrial developments, from identifying and procuring key assets in which we predict rising demand to setting our company up for our partners to acquire majority ownership at the beginning of 2020,” said Gregg Ickes, President of Real Estate Services. “Without the individual and team efforts of these Power Brokers, we know we would not have experienced nearly the amount of success that they helped lead our company to last year. We’re grateful that CoStar also saw the tremendous impact they have on the industry and are recognizing them for all of their hard work and determination.”
