Nashville, Tenn. (September 23, 2024) – Formed with a leap of faith, Foundry Commercial’s Nashville Industrial team has set itself apart in multiple ways from the very beginning. This year, in its annual Industrial Influencers publication, GlobeSt. has recognized the team among the most dominant and impactful professionals in industrial real estate.
Back in 2018, Partner Melissa Alexander decided to move from Memphis to Nashville, largely starting her brokerage business over from ground zero. Casey Flannery joined her soon after, and the two have since together become a unique, powerhouse force in the largely male-dominated sector. The duo specializes in off-market land deals, building acquisitions, agency leasing, tenant representation, and IOS (industrial outdoor storage) sites.
“Melissa and Casey have made an impressive name for themselves in the Nashville Industrial market,” said Jason Holwerda, Foundry’s Nashville Market Leader. “They bring tenacity to the table – the way they are not afraid to take risks and how they creatively approach each deal has brought a lot of success. For instance, their strategic use of social media has not only been a pivotal aspect to them closing deals, but it has also set new standards within the sector. They have cemented themselves as leaders within this industry. Melissa and Casey make us proud, and this honor is well-deserved.”
As noted by the publication, “The industrial asset class has had its challenges as well as its share of sound and growing fundamentals even during the last two years. Still, working in this space is not always easy as it requires a mix of skill, industry knowledge, contacts and confidence in future growth.”
