Tampa, Fla. (February 6, 2026) – Foundry Commercial, a full-service real estate services and investment firm, is proud to announce that Vice President of Debt & Structure Finance (DSF), John (“J.C.”) Tacot has been honored as one of GlobeSt.’s 2025 Rainmakers in CRE Debt, Equity, and Finance. This award honors leaders in commercial real estate lending, loan origination, and debt and equity finance space.
Since joining the company in 2021, Tacot has led the growth of Foundry’s DSF platform, with a focus on strategy, execution, and capital relationships. His work delivering tailored financing solutions for clients has strengthened lender and equity partnerships and reinforced Foundry’s position in the sector.
Tacot has made an impressive mark by building Foundry Commercial’s DSF platform during one of the most challenging capital markets environments in recent years, with debt markets largely frozen from 2021–2024. His disciplined approach positioned the platform for success as capital markets reopened, making 2025 a breakout year. Tacot closed nine transactions across six asset classes, contributing to more than $150 million in transaction volume.
“J.C. has worked hard to build this platform and set it up for success,” said Gregg Ickes, President of Real Estate Services. “This recognition is well-deserved, and we are thrilled to see the platform continue to grow under his leadership.”
