Steve (brown dog), David, Will, Monica and Benny (black dog) Strong
CAREER MOVES
After seeing some wins working on his own as the market recovered from 2010-2013, Strong left Cushman & Wakefield to team up with Mike Haenel and Andy Markham at Cassidy Turley. “We worked together as a full-service industrial team, but when the Cassidy Turley, DTZ and Cushman & Wakefield mergers occurred, I had an opportunity to return full-time to the investment sphere,” he says.
CUSHMAN & WAKEFIELD
The move has paid dividends with Strong essentially functioning as the director of his own investment shop inside Cushman & Wakefield’s industrial umbrella. “Mike and Andy and now Phil Haenel handle leasing and development, and I specifically serve the investment buy-and-sell side for clients,” he says. Strong also works independently with some of the best leasing brokers at other brokerage companies across Arizona.
OUTLOOK
As the CRE cycle extends its impressive longevity, Strong sees great opportunities in the industrial investment environment. “I want clients to have the best service possible,” he says. “There is so much activity in the market right now, and with our commitment to excellence and understanding of the capital markets, we can create value for owners with a client-centric approach.”
CONCLUSION
If you had to sum up Will Strong’s character with adjectives, there are many to choose from: dedicated, competitive, gutsy, determined and persistent. But two stand out: Strong Will.
Strong is involved in EC70, a group of working professionals dedicated to helping the community’s youth through fundraising events and initiatives. EC70’s signature event is The Original Taste in Scottsdale. Read more about EC70 on the next page.
