A LETTER FROM PAUL ELLIS Pryse and I were on an early-morning flight, leaving the Charlotte groundbreaking of Steele Point trying to get back to Orlando for the Princeton Oaks groundbreaking.

All the while, the teams were preparing for our third groundbreaking the following week with The Carrie Meek International Business Park. We were both tired, but I told him, “If we ever complain about too many groundbreakings too close to each other, we might want to check ourselves because this is about as fun as it gets for a bunch of real estate geeks.”

When you look through these pages, that is probably a good perspective to have. Foundry is doing things that, in some sense, we never thought we would be able to do or were explicitly told we could not do. And we are doing it faster than we imagined. That should elicit feelings of excitement, pride, diligence (a lot of people are trusting us as their partners) and, I hope, gratitude. We can do things here that can’t be done on other platforms. That is fun, that is special, that is pretty cool, and I hope we protect that over the coming years.

This success is also a function of a team. So many people have been working hard. Some are out front in the spotlight and some are working hard behind the scenes. You simply can’t have one without the other and each role is significant.

Foundry United is meant to shine the spotlight on everyone and, most importantly, say, “Thank You.” Sincerely,

THE CARRIE MEEK FOUNDATION

Foundry Commercial has partnered with the Carrie Meek Foundation to both develop the Carrie Meek International Business Park and to provide economic development and job training programs that will help connect the local residents to the jobs that are created in the development. That development will include the new 855,000-squarefoot Amazon Fulfillment Center that will create more than 1,000 new jobs. Lucia Davis-Raiford is the daughter of Carrie Meek, for whom both the Foundation and the Business Park are named. Lucia has been the driving force behind the idea, the programs and the development.

She has worked tirelessly on behalf of the Foundation with Foundry to make this project and the Foundation a reality.

Q

What does legacy mean to you?

As a daughter of someone whose work has been so pioneering, both in Florida and across the country, I have a clear sense of legacy. Also, as a beneficiary of so many women leaders, such as Mary McLeod Bethune and others who were leaders and pioneers and groundbreakers, I understand the inheritance of things other than money.

Lucia Davis-Raiford speaking at the Carrie Meek International Business Park Groundbreaking in Opa Locka, FL 14

Q

How would you describe the Carrie Meek Foundation and Foundr y’s relationship?

Q

In one word I would call it symbiotic. We have a similar mission of doing good as we do well. They are two different things and organizations such as The Carrie Meek Foundation and Foundry Commercial have a very good sense of how to do both. I feel both organizations are serious about trying new things in order to accomplish both.

Pryse, for as smart as he is and as successful as he is, he is equally humble. Pryse was unavailable to meet with me because he was feeding the homeless, that would be at the top of the list. It was meaningful and it told me a lot about the character of the person who I was trying to do business with. To me, character and integrity are more important than anything. It doesn’t mean that those are the only things that are important, but those are certainly things that I need to be, and anybody in the business world need to be able to rely on in a partner, and I had that in Pryse.

Q

What made you ultimately pick Foundry for the development of Carrie Meek International Business Park?

Two words, Pryse Elam. Pryse was and is a visionary and the glue. As we both explored uncharted waters with this project, he was, as compared to all others who we considered, the one who had the temerity to stick through the tough issues and had the vision to see where we needed to go early on. It is really apparent to me that Pryse has had this in his head for many years, long before he and I had ever met. He is the kind of laser-focused visionary who is important to getting big things done no matter the business that you are in. I do appreciate his brilliance. The fact of the matter is, for the long-term, down-inthe-trenches kind of work that it took to get this project where it is, it really had to have, at its center, someone who has the kind of brilliance, focus and temerity that Pryse has.

Foundry is a wonderful group of wonderful people and I have met a number of them, but I don’t think the organization could do any better than having Pryse Elam as a leader.

Q

What has been the most meaningful moment so far while working on the Carrie Meek International Business Park?

There were many meaningful moments and I am not sure I can remember all of them. But the groundbreaking, which was the culmination of all those moments, was incredibly meaningful and incredibly powerful. It is just symbolic of everything and every person who made this project happen. It was a celebration by us all.

All we are talking about is turning a piece of dirt, but one could see how symbolic it was.

It was a community celebration and that was very meaningful for me.

Is there a story in particular while working with Pryse or the team that stands out to you?

Q

What is the most meaningful part of this development to you?

The most meaningful part is the potential outcome for community and economic development that can come from what was otherwise just a pure business deal. There is the potential for this to really be impactful on not just the immediate surrounding community but the county as a whole. With the number of jobs to be created by this, we believe that we can absorb a number of the unemployed in Miami-Dade County. The surest way to create economic development is to create opportunities for able-bodied human beings

to work. This will provide the opportunity to work for those who might not have had that opportunity. Because we are focused on providing jobs to this core group of people, we have reason to believe that we are going to be successful in creating the impact we intend.

Q

What does it mean to you that the Carrie Meek International Business Park was inspired and named after your mother’s legacy?

It is a fitting monument to the body of work she created when she began as a college professor, touching the lives of thousands of emerging professionals, and through her work as a state representative, senator and ultimately a member of the United States

Congress. This will be a lasting physical monument to the work that she contributed to her community and nation, her work being fundamental to community development, community organizing, supporting grassroots efforts, people and organizations.

NEW YORK LIFE Michael Lucek Senior Associate

New York Life has grown in a short few years to one of the largest clients for Foundry Commercial. We have worked in lock step with the team at New York Life to help them across the service spectrum to invest wisely while also servicing tenants in a passionate and unique fashion. We are currently working with them in Charlotte, Nashville and Broward County. Just at Water Ridge Office Park in Charlotte, our property management team has taken a commoditized suburban office park and transformed it into an amenity-laden destination for office users. The team has unveiled a Water Ridge Lifestyle offering that includes everything from a summer block party for tenants to free yoga and crossfit, a rewards program that includes discount hotel rooms and catering services, pop-up jewelry vendors and farmers markets to NFL football kickoff parties and Halloween costume contests. The transformation is extensive and reflective of our commitment to the New York Life assets. We approach our relationship with New York Life on a personal level and treat their assets like we personally own them.

One of our favorite asset managers, Dan McConnell, recently retired from New York Life and the Charlotte office threw him a surprise retirement party attended by 30 Foundry associates. Dan was overwhelmed and this is reflective of our personal connection and realationships.

Michael Lucek practiced his fly fishing at our Charlotte Brokerage Event for Water Ridge Business Park 16

Q

New York Life was founded in 1845 (172 years ago), how does it feel to work for a company with such a rich legacy and what advice would you give Foundry Commercial celebrating its 10th year in business?

Working for a company that has 172 years of history is great. The company’s stability provides great confidence and security to its employees and investors. New York Life’s carefully calculated risk has made it possible to survive the economic highs and lows.

Many of my colleagues have been with the company in excess of 20 years.

Q

Foundry has boiled its mission statement down to two words, “Serve others.” In your experience with us, do we practice what we preach?

The service we have received from Foundry has been first class. We have gotten the necessary attention and responsiveness from all of its service platforms.

Q

What is one of your best memories with Foundry Commercial?

Our fondest memory is brainstorming in the Foundry Charlotte Office “creative think tank room” with our Foundry team. The outsideof-the-box ideas that were generated in that session helped turn a negative into a positive.

Out of that session came the idea for a branded electric car for tenants, which helped to stabilize the occupancy of a troubled asset.

Q

What does the outside world think of Foundry Commercial?

I don’t know what the outside world thinks of Foundry, but I know at NYL they are highly regarded. We have Foundry engaged in leasing, property management, and construction management. This relationship keeps expanding as we move into new markets and continue to acquire new properties.

Q

When you hired Foundry Commercial you had certain expectations of our services. Have we met those, or exceeded them? And if so, how?

We have had Foundry’s full attention from day one. Their marketing and advertising efforts have exceeded our expectations. Their ability to provide creative ideas and deliver on those ideas has been a real asset. I am glad to have Foundry on our team.

The service we have received from Foundry has been first class.

We have gotten the necessary attention and responsiveness from all of their service platforms.

MERITEX Arvid Povilaitis Chief Operating Officer

Dan Ward Director of Investments

Our Charlotte Industrial team first connected with The Meritex Company when Matt Wagner, director of acquisitions for Meritex, reached out to us during his underwriting of the CLT Logistics Center acquisition. At that time, Meritex was on the cusp of celebrating their 100-year anniversary. The prospect of working with a century-old, family-owned company with such strong core values was perhaps more encouraging than the business itself. We quickly bonded with the Meritex team and their company culture. We have worked with Meritex as their leasing and management provider in Charlotte for the past year. In that short time, our appreciation for their culture and way of doing business has only gotten stronger. They are where we want to be in 90 years. Simply put, there couldn’t be a better inspiration than a client like Meritex to propel us down the right path.

Q

Foundry and Meritex’s mission and values feel very similar when it comes to people and relationships. In your words, how would you describe the relationship between Foundry and Meritex?

DW: Our company cultures align through values and way of doing business. Foundry is customer focused and hands on. Operating with a rather flat organizational structure, they have the flexibility to make quick decisions without having to go up the chain to get things done, which is very similar to how we operate. We found that characteristic to be very appealing and it has worked well in our day-to-day operations. When someone has a question, a simple phone call or email and we get a response quickly to keep the ball moving forward.

18

Q

What company principals have allowed Meritex to maintain its culture for over a century?

AP: Paddy McNeely, is the grandson of Harry McNeely, who founded the company in 1916 in Saint Paul, MN. Since its inception, Meritex has been family-owned, maintaining a long-term generational outlook.

Paddy, a member of G3 (third generation), along with his fellow siblings have engaged the G4 family members, keeping many of them engaged in the business. The McNeely family members are the core owners and drivers of what keeps everyone together.

Q

Congratulations on celebrating 100 years as a company! With Foundry Commercial celebrating our 10-year anniversary, what are some wise words you would pass to a company to make it to that 100-year milestone?

AP: I think it’s all about core values and keeping that at the center of all that you do.

We recently articulated our core values in a more formal manner, however it’s something that has existed within the company since the beginning: 1. Relationships Matter, 2. Create Beneficial Outcomes, 3. Think Ahead, 4.

Always Accountable. Those are the pillars of our company and the reason we’ve been around for so long. The markets can change, the economic environment can change, competitors change and how you compete within those markets can change – but the core values keep the company focused on a longer term. That is a large part of our success and why many of our employees have been with the company for so long. The average Meritex employee has been with the company for 15 years. I’ve been with Meritex for 12, Dan recently celebrated his 20th.

Our director of IT retired in July after work for Meritex for 44 years. Our current CEO, Paddy McNeely, first started as an intern at the company when he was 16 years old.

We’ve had people here for a very long time and they are the foundation of who we are and what Meritex represents.

Q

Sharing stories of your clients is obviously important to Meritex. Is there a story in particular about Foundry Commercial that stands out to you through our relationship?

DW: In one of our final meetings interviewing Foundry, I walked in with a light blue shirt and Ben Hullender walked in wearing the exact same color shirt. It was a “this is meant to be” type of moment. In a way, we were so aligned that the asset manager and property manager were wearing the same colored shirt. Everyone had a big laugh.

AP: Similarly, last August we had a tenant customer appreciation event at CLT Logistics Center. Fully equipped with a bean bag toss and a photo booth with fun props, the event was a huge success.

With participation from both Meritex and Foundry, the comradery was evident and contagious. We had a great turnout and there was an incredible sense of community.

DW: If you ask anyone in the company what one word would describe Meritex, most would say the word “family.”

Q

Given the Meritex philosophy of strong partnerships with its tenants, what attributes do you look for in third party service providers in unstaffed markets? How did Foundry align with these attributes?

AP: We were looking for a company that could be an extension of Meritex. When Foundry presents themselves in the market on our behalf, they are not only recognized as Foundry Commercial, but as a part of Meritex. We chose Foundry because they reflect the same values and principles as we do. Those values and principles are then passed on, cultivating and maintaining the best service for our customers.

10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY | 19

CLIENTSPOTLIGHTS

Our team has been serving Lutheran Church Extension Fund (LCEF) before Foundry Commercial was created. Our relationship with LCEF goes back more than 15 years to the Trammell Crow Company days.

It began as a brokerage relationship whereby Matt Messier and his father, Richard Messier, would help sell challenged real estate in the Southeast. Since that time, it has blossomed into a full-service account with Foundry Commercial, providing national brokerage, property management, asset management and consulting services. LCEF is a one-in-a-million type of client. During our relationship, we have been able to drive value throughout their company, help them through challenging times, lower their risk and develop lasting friendships.

They are the consummate partner and we are grateful for their continued trust in our platform and for the developed friendships with several LCEF staff members.

20

Q

Q

Foundry Commercial has a history with LCEF that pre-dates my involvement, and because of that, they were asked to participate in an RFP for being LCEF’s full-service provider of real estate services. Foundry Commercial was easily the top choice, primarily for their willingness and ability to provide one-stop shopping nationwide, but more importantly, it was their ministry heart and their deep understanding of the dynamics involved in selling and servicing church-related properties.

Partnership to me is very simple. It is honest and dedicated people working together in a trusted relationship to provide services and support that each feel are the best available anywhere. Partnerships that work make each partner better than they would be without the other.

When did you start working with Foundry Commercial and what compelled you to use them for your specific needs?

Q

Business relationships can often feel very transactional and void of real substance and authenticity. How has Foundry been different?

We prefer to be referenced as a partner but not just as a preference in title - in the trust meaning of the word. What does partner mean to you, and how is our relationship an example of that?

Q

As Foundry Commercial has grown, you and LCEF have been there since day one. What has changed from day one and what hasn’t?

LCEF really hasn’t changed dramatically from what we do as a core ministry, but I can’t say

I have had many great business relationships in the past with service providers but none that match the professionalism and authenticity of Foundry over the past eightplus years. Working for and with a ministry transcends normal business thinking and purpose for all involved.

Being with the Foundry group is always a special occasion, and although there are probably some stories to tell (especially when I went on vacation to Tennessee with Matt), the most memorable experiences I have had are when I would go to the Da Vinci room and watch the Foundry leadership team give up a big portion of their day to engage in seeking to understand our ministry challenges.

Like a fine-tuned orchestra, watch them collectively communicate their expertise in a very thoughtful discussion while Nick captures the entire experience in an amazingly artistic and meaningful way.

Q

What do you look forward to in the future?

There is so much more Foundry can help us with as we expand into real estate services outside of our traditional brokerage services.

Foundry plays such a large part of the hope

Q

We talk a lot about driving value.

Without driving value for your organization, we would still be friends but we would likely end our business relationship because our job is to help you achieve results, meet objectives, etc.

How has Foundry Commercial driven value for your organization?

We will always be friends, no doubt about that. But it is true that this is just icing on the cake because if value is not derived within the relationship, then we are being unfair to the ministry. Foundry has gained the highest level of confidence within LCEF and the district offices by the accomplishments we have achieved through the partnership. An example of this is that we currently have $22 million of property under contract, which if successful, will free up many more dollars for ministry. The best part about all of this is that we have barely scratched the surface on what this partnership can accomplish in other areas of real estate services.

the same for Foundry. The most amazing thing is that even though Foundry has experienced great growth in several geographic areas, the same core team of Foundry leaders still continue to service LCEF and me personally with 100-percent dedication, masking all of the other additional complexities I know they have added to their workload over these years of high growth. It is a testament of their fierce loyalty to the partnership and their genuine heart for our ministry.

Q

We have a lot of fox hole experiences over the years. What are some of your more memorable experiences with the team? (Yes, they can include Matt’s jokes while on the road!)

we have in being able to provide additional assistance to our congregations and schools, which in turn keeps LCEF relevant to our customers. This “extended hands” service offered by Foundry will be key in taking our services to the next level. No doubt, Foundry Commercial will continue to be a blessing to our ministry in the future!

Partnerships that work make each partner better than they would be without the other.

FOUNDRY WELCOMES INDUSTRY LEADER CHRIS SWART Charlotte, NC (Jan. 11, 2017) Foundry Commercial, the multi-city commercial real estate firm with offices in Charlotte and Raleigh, proudly announces the addition of industry leader Chris Swart, MCR, SIOR, CCIM, LEED AP, to its senior leadership team in Charlotte. Swart joins the team as a senior vice president.

In his new role with Foundry Commercial, Swart will primarily focus on landlord representation and corporate services in Charlotte’s Central Business District and surrounding suburbs. Additionally, Swart will partner with Foundry Senior Vice President Meredith Ball to propel the Charlotte team – which now consists of 78 employees – forward in the region as the firm continues to grow throughout the Carolinas.

“We spend a considerable amount of time looking for leaders who are not only a strategic hire for us, but also for our clients and our portfolio,” said Charles Jonas, principal and Carolinas Market Leader at Foundry Commercial. “Given Chris’ activity in the industry, coupled with his extensive Charlotte-based experience, he will undoubtedly be a dynamic change agent for our team, clients, and industry. We are proud to have him on board.”

Prior to joining Foundry Commercial, Chris was a managing director with Savills Studley, focusing on tenant representation and corporate services. Savills Studley acquired Cresa Charlotte in June 2016 where Chris was a Senior Vice President responsible for real estate brokerage services throughout the US and Canada on behalf of XPO Logistics and its subsidiaries.

Prior to joining Cresa and, subsequently, Savills Studley, Swart was a vice president at Lincoln Harris (the corporate service arm of Lincoln Property Company), where he acted as a transaction broker for Bank of America’s Corporate Workplace Transactions and Investments Group. While working with Bank of America, Chris was responsible for real estate brokerage services for the bank’s eight-million-square-foot headquarters portfolio, where he managed all office lease renewal, acquisition, and disposition activities.

Swart’s past landlord representation assignments include 1 Bank of America Center, Bank of America Corporate Center, Hearst Tower, Fifth Third Center, Transamerica Square, Gateway Village and 119 E. 7th Street located in Charlotte’s CBD submarket, the Morrocroft Centre portfolio located in Charlotte’s SouthPark submarket and Morehead Square located in Charlotte’s Midtown submarket.

The addition of Swart to the Foundry Commercial team is reflective of the firm’s selective hiring strategy in various markets throughout the 24

Given Chris’ activity in the industry, coupled with his extensive Charlottebased experience, he will undoubtedly be a dynamic change agent for our team, clients, and industry. We are proud to have him on board.

- Charles Jonas, Principal at Foundry Commercial

Southeast. In 2016, Foundry Commercial recruited industry veteran Ford Gibson to help lead its South Florida development and investment efforts, and welcomed former Cushman & Wakefield managing director Chris Hurd to expand the company’s presence in Atlanta that same year.

BANK OF AMERICA RENEWS 175,000 SQUARE-FOOT LEASE AT 525 NORTH TRYON Charlotte, NC (Jan. 24, 2017) In coordination with building owners Grubb Properties and New York Life, Foundry Commercial, the multi-city commercial real estate firm with offices in Charlotte and Raleigh, is pleased to announce the renewal of Bank of America’s 175,000-square-foot lease at 525 North Tryon – one of the largest lease renewals that will likely be secured in Charlotte this year.

Bank of America’s recommitment to the North Tryon Corridor is a testament to the growing activity in the area, as well as the recent repositioning of 525 North Tryon. Foundry Commercial was engaged by the building ownership to help market the property in early 2016.

Since then, Foundry has partnered with the asset’s management team at Grubb Properties to reposition the asset through an extensive activation program.

525 North Tryon has enhanced existing amenities and added new ones, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, “Club 525,” that is free for tenants; a bike storage room; a free electric car shuttle that will transport tenants anywhere in uptown Charlotte; a conferencing center with both open collaborative space and traditional layouts; and an electric car charging station.

Additionally, the asset is in the final stages of obtaining LEED Silver certification and has already retrofitted all exterior and parking lights for LED sustainability. The building has earned the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star designation, meaning it ranks in the top 25 percent of comparable buildings for energy efficiency.

SHUTTS & BOWEN SECURES 15-YEAR LEASE Orlando, FL (Feb. 6, 2017) Foundry Commercial, the multi-city commercial real estate firm headquartered in Orlando, has successfully completed a 15-year, 47,000-square-foot lease on behalf of law firm Shutts & Bowen at downtown Orlando’s Lincoln Plaza building. Recent Foundry recruit and industry veteran Jeff Patterson secured the deal on behalf of the client.

Catherine Reeves with Highwoods Properties represented the landlord in the deal.

The law firm’s decision to relocate its office from the ninth and 10th floors of the Lincoln Plaza building to the entire ninth floor and top (16th) floor stemmed from a desire to create a more efficient, collaborative and attractive workspace to enhance employee productivity, recruitment and retention. To achieve the desired look and feel of the space, Foundry enlisted the help of local interior designer Rob Blakeslee to transform the already visually stunning top floor, which includes features such as a 1,850 square-foot conference/ lounge area with a 30-foot-high vaulted ceiling, into Shutts & Bowen’s ideal office. Blakeslee’s alterations to the space will include significant renovations to the lobby, like a 36-foot-by-12-inch fumed-oak canopy feature as well as subtle design touches, such as thin column light fixtures suspended from the vaulted ceiling.

“After spending 30 years in Orlando and completing over 500 deals in the region, it is a privilege to continue to be able to assist local businesses like Shutts & Bowen in finding a space that speaks to their organizational goals and company culture,” said Patterson, senior vice president at Foundry Commercial. “Since joining the Foundry team, I’ve been able to maintain the same drive and focus for securing the best deals for my clients that I had while running my own company.

I am looking forward to continuing to operate in an environment that encourages associates to remain passionate about every client and every project, every day.”

Few brokers can match the time and personal attention that Jeff devotes to his projects.

“Few brokers can match the time and personal attention that Jeff devotes to his projects,” said James Willard, partner at Shutts & Bowen. “He listened and we are thankful to him and the entire Foundry team for securing this lease on our behalf, and for helping us to achieve more than we thought was possible in the deal.”

Prior to joining Foundry Commercial, Patterson represented prominent tenants, such as Federal Express, Compass Research and Ridgeworth Capital, and has handled many of Orlando’s premier office projects, including: the Landmark Center, Bank of America Center, Citrus Center, and the marketing and development of the $85 million, 31-story One Eleven Project, among many others.

FOUNDRY WINS MANAGEMENT OF 1.5-MILLION-SQUAREFOOT INDUSTRIAL PARK, RESEARCH TRI-CENTER

Foundry has a strong local team and we look forward to growing our relationship while providing great service to our tenants.

- Joe Zingaro, Vice President at Clarion Partners

Raleigh, NC (Feb. 27, 2017) Foundry Commercial, the multi-city commercial real estate firm with offices in Charlotte and Raleigh, announces today that it is now the leasing agent and manager of Raleigh’s 1.5-million-square-foot industrial office park, Research Tri-Center.

Ideally positioned near Interstate 40, Interstate 85, the Durham Freeway (Highway 147), and the I-540 Outer Loop of Raleigh, Research Tri-Center lies within the heart of the Research Triangle region, with centralized access to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary. Already a premier industrial park in the area, the tenbuilding property, which is currently 98 percent leased, will undergo several improvements under Foundry’s management and partnership with Clarion Partners, including roof replacement, asphalt work and landscaping work. Clarion holds the property on behalf of a commingled fund managed by the firm.

About Clarion Partners Clarion Partners, an SEC registered investment advisor, FCA authorized manager and FINRA member firm, has been a leading U.S. real estate investment manager for more than 34 years.

Headquartered in New York, the firm has offices in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, London, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Seattle and Washington, D.C. With $44 billion in total assets under management, Clarion Partners offers a broad range of real estate strategies across the risk/return spectrum to its more than 200 domestic and international institutional investors.

“Having leasing and management under one roof at Research TriCenter gives us the flexibility and capabilities that are required to maintain this high-quality asset to the best of our abilities for current and future tenants,” said John Kelly, SIOR, market leader at Foundry Commercial. “As our property management team continues to grow in Raleigh, we are increasingly excited by opportunities like this one, which allow us to serve our customers with innovative services in an evolving market.”

“We are excited to bring in Foundry as we continue to improve our park,” said Joe Zingaro, vice president at Clarion Partners. “Foundry has a strong local team and we look forward to growing our relationship while providing great service to our tenants.”

Foundry’s property management team was established in the Raleigh market in 2013. In that short time, the team has evolved to become one of the largest in the region. This growth is a direct result of Foundry’s expanding management portfolio in the Southeast.

Current space availability at Research Tri-Center includes 31,236 square feet at the South III building, and 83,119 square feet at the South VIII building.

HAPPY FRONT PORCH FRIDAY FROM NICK MCKINNEY Words can either tear you down or give you wings. It is amazing how quickly words spoken to you can affect your entire physical body. We tend to remember the words that hurt us the most because they are so jarring and judgmental.

But this week, I got to witness what words can do when they give you wings.

Amidst the hustle and bustle this week in Orlando, I was still able to make it out to my son’s baseball game Thursday evening. When Jack started playing two years ago, he started cold. You see, I hated the game growing up so I never threw the ball with him in the yard, watched it…nothing. But his friends, William and Henry Renaud, were excited about playing, which sparked Jack’s interest in the game.

After each season I could see his confidence grow. Scott Renaud and I had the privilege of having our boys play on the same team last season, which was a blast but it also allowed me to enlist Jack into the Renaud Weekend Training Camp! Week after week, you could see some improvement.

This season, they aren’t playing on the same team, but on Thursday night I had my friend and colleague standing next to me watching the game as my son took the mound to pitch for the very first time. I don’t really get nervous around sports but when your son walks up to the mound in the top of the last inning in a super tight game, you get really nervous. If you haven’t been around youth sports in a while, then you haven’t experienced how nasty some of the parents can be!

Jack found himself with the bases loaded and had to really work himself out of a hole. There were two outs, the team was at the top of the batting order and he was down in the count with 3 balls and 0 strikes. Scott was laughing at me because he could feel the anxiety Kara, my wife, and I were feeling. But Jack stepped up and threw three strikes in a row to get out of the inning without giving up any runs. Phew!

I couldn’t have been more proud of him. When we were walking back to the car I asked him how he was able to stay cool and get it done. He said, “Because my teammate gave me the best hype talk ever before I faced the last batter.” He went on to say that his teammate was constantly in his his ear the whole inning encouraging him and supporting him. The teammate that was pumping him up was our star pitcher and knew what kind of pressure Jack was facing.

In that situation, it wasn’t his dad and it wasn’t his coach, it was his teammate. I think we often underestimate the power of our words - especially to our team. Words can be a double-edged sword, so just make sure you are using the side of the blade that gives wings and doesn’t cut down.

FOUNDRY AND PGIM REAL ESTATE FORM JOINT VENTURE TO DEVELOP 510,000-SQUAREFOOT INDUSTRIAL PARK, PRINCETON OAKS

The market has primarily focused on ‘first mile’ aspects of distribution, and is now starting to focus on ‘last mile’ efforts to reach this consumer base.

- Moses Salcido, Principal, Developement & Investment

Orlando, FL (April, 11, 2017) Foundry Commercial announces today the formation of a joint venture with PGIM Real Estate to develop Princeton Oaks, a 510,000-square-foot Class A industrial project in Orlando.

Princeton Oaks will be situated on 60 acres west of downtown Orlando near the intersection of John Young Parkway and Princeton Street, and will not only add much-needed industrial space to the region, but is also projected to add 300 new jobs for area residents.

“Light Industrial properties are a hot commodity in Central Florida, yet there has been little development within key demographics, like millennials, which are one of the biggest driving forces behind the e-commerce industry,” said Moses Salcido, managing director at Foundry Commercial. “The market has primarily focused on ‘first mile’ aspects of distribution, and is now starting to focus on ‘last mile’ efforts to reach this consumer base.”

The “last mile” aspect involves goods delivered directly to consumers, and is more reliant on urban warehousing for speed of delivery. This also mitigates time and cost of the supply chain. Having facilities near the urban core that are in close proximity to major roadways is a growing need that has been underserved in Orlando.

Princeton Oaks will be developed in the center of an established and thriving businesses community, which is also close to residential areas.

The location of the asset provides a convenient solution to the “last mile” issues faced by local vendors and e-commerce companies, and will also provide easy access to major roadways that circumvent I-4 during the I-4 Ultimate Improvement Project.

Princeton Oaks is the second industrial development from Foundry Commercial in Central Florida. The first, Crews Commerce Center, is a $50-million industrial park in southwest Orlando that includes 739,410 square feet of Class A industrial space across six buildings. The first three buildings of Crews Commerce Center, which total 337,920 square feet, will be completed in May 2017.

HAMILTON STEPHENS STEELE + MARTIN LAW FIRM INKS LONG-TERM LEASE AT 525 NORTH TRYON Charlotte, NC (May 10, 2017) In conjunction with building owners Grubb Properties and New York Life, Foundry Commercial is pleased to announce that premier Charlotte law firm Hamilton Stephens Steele + Martin has completed a long-term lease agreement to occupy a full floor that spans 16,511 square feet at 525 North Tryon.

The deal marks a significant success in attracting a third-party company to relocate to 525 North Tryon in a competitive Uptown market, and is a testament to the significant amenity improvements, such as the incorporation of a fitness center and bike room, that have occurred at the building in the last several months. Recently added amenities include a modern, two-room conference area that is comprised of a boardroom and a collaborative cohabitation space, and renovations to an interior courtyard that will be completed in early June.

Perhaps the most significant new amenity is a free, six-passenger electric shuttle service called “525 Shuttle,” which transports 525 North Tryon tenants to and from uptown Charlotte.

“Both Grubb and New York Life have invested a great deal in creating top-tier amenities, like the ‘525 Shuttle,’ in order to retain and attract the caliber of tenants we now have, and we know that the reactivation is what drew Hamilton Stephens Steele + Martin to the building,” said Charles Jonas, Charlotte market leader at Foundry Commercial. “Their decision to join us truly validates the incredible features that 525 North Tryon now offers.”

In addition to these new amenities, 525 North Tryon received LEED certification in March – another mark of the building’s evolution and its owners’ commitment to best-in-class management and remaining a leading option for tenants in an increasingly popular neighborhood.

“We have been watching what is happening on the north end of town and are excited to position our firm in the center of this revitalization,” said George Sistrunk, co-managing partner at Hamilton Stephens Steele + Martin. “The move to 525 North Tryon Street will allow easier building access for visitors, along with office space that is designed for more collaboration among our attorneys and clients. We are also excited about building amenities like the fitness facility and free shuttle service.”

CARRIE MEEK FOUNDATION COMPLETES GROUND LEASE FOR HISTORIC JOINT VENTURE Miami, FL (June 7, 2017) Foundry Commercial and Clarion Partners, LLC have completed a lease with Amazon at Carrie Meek International Business Park, a speculative $250 million industrial project at the Opa-locka Airport in Miami-Dade County. “This lease represents one of the largest leases done in the history of Miami-Dade County,” said Ford Gibson, a Managing Director with Foundry who will oversee the development of the asset on behalf of Foundry Commercial.

The announcement of Amazon’s decision to occupy the industrial park comes just months after Foundry Commercial revealed details on its unprecedented public/private partnership with The Carrie Meek Foundation. Under the partnership, the Foundation will receive a portion of all proceeds generated from the facility to offer job training to area residents, among other life-altering services, such as health care, affordable housing and education.

“This deal shows the power of our partnership with the Foundation,” said Gibson. “We came together with Foundation with the collective vision of building a successful real estate development that would create jobs for the residents in the area and across all of Miami-Dade County. Today we have realized that vision by bringing Amazon and at least 1,000 new jobs to Opa-locka. A portion of the proceeds from the development will be used by the Foundation to help prepare our residents for the jobs that will be created there. We are so proud to be a part of this unique development and unprecedented partnership.”

FOUNDRY BREAKS GROUND ON CARRIE MEEK INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS PARK AMAZON FULFILLMENT CENTER IN MIAMI, FL Miami, FL (June 29, 2017) On June 29, 2017 we celebrated the life and work of Congresswoman Carrie P. Meek by breaking ground on the Carrie Meek International Business Park (“CMIBP�) in Miami. More than 200 people attended the event, which kicked-off what is one of the largest single private industrial developments in the history of Miami-Dade and certainly the largest single job creation project in the history of the County.

Altogether, CMIBP will encompass more than one million square feet of space, headlined of course, by an 855,000-square-foot state-ofthe-art facility for Amazon. Amazon representatives were also on-hand 40

to celebrate the groundbreaking. Foundry is simultaneously building an additional 280,000-square-foot speculative industrial building and a 5,000-square-foot headquarters building for the Carrie Meek Foundation. All three buildings are expected to be completed at various points throughout the year in 2018. Amazon alone will create more 1,000 new jobs for area residents.

What is truly unique about this project is that it is a joint venture between the Carrie Meek Foundation and Foundry. CMIBP is being built on ground owned by Miami-Dade County; that the County

has leased on a long-term ground lease to a joint venture between The Carrie Meek Foundation and Foundry Commercial. That joint venture exists not only to build the Amazon building and others, but a significant portion of the profits that are generated from this real estate development will go directly to the Foundation to fund its programs to help provide quality affordable housing, education and healthcare to the underserved residents of Miami-Dade County. Moreover, the Foundation will work with the local residents to help prepare them to take on the more than 1,000 jobs that will be created here over the next 24 months.

Imagine that – real estate development, job creation and economic development all come together in one project. That is truly ground breaking. And we are very proud to be a part of it.

LINCOLN PROPERTY COMPANY AND FOUNDRY COMMERCIAL COMPLETE FIRST PHASE OF 121 WEST TRADE BUILDING RENOVATION Charlotte, NC (June 2017) In conjunction with building owner Lincoln Property Company, Foundry Commercial is pleased to announce it has completed the first phase of repositioning at Uptown Charlotte’s 121 West Trade building.

Work on 121 West Trade began in late 2015, when Lincoln Property Company purchased the asset and hired Foundry Commercial as the leasing manager.

Improvements to the building, which is located in the heart of Charlotte’s Central Business District at Trade and Tryon, include an updated main lobby, common corridors enhanced with bright modern finishes, and refreshed restrooms, as well as a new “Tenant Hub.” The Hub features multiple conference rooms, a 50-person training room and a tenant lounge.

The Tenant Hub was designed with an open plan that adds both formal and informal meeting space, and acts as an onsite location to relax and unwind. The Hub is free for all 121 West Trade tenants and is fully equipped with complimentary features such as high-speed Wi-Fi and gourmet coffee.

“As Charlotte continues to experience growth in its workforce, landlords are investing in amenities that cater to the needs of current and prospective tenants,” said Karah Stumler, office leasing associate at Foundry Commercial. “The 121 Tenant Hub provides an open, sleek and flexible way for our current tenants to work and interact, and makes this centralized location even more appealing to prospective tenants.”

Additional notable building amenities include the Charlotte City Club, a membership only dining and social venue, New York-deli-inspired restaurant The Sandwich Club, and The CUT Barbershop.

“Our Charlotte team relocated to 121 West Trade a couple of years ago, so this repositioning is particularly special for us,” said Charles Jonas, Charlotte market leader at Foundry Commercial. “The renovations made to the building not only provide added value to all of its tenants, but now our own employees have more flexible ways to work and collaborate thanks to this enhanced work environment. We can truly say that there is not another asset like this one on the market.”

121 West Trade Center

121 West Trade has a current rentable building area of 336,086 square feet. Additional building renovations, including corridor improvements, changes to retail, and more, are scheduled to take place over the next several months.

Prior to joining Foundry Commercial, Albright served as a principal at Avison Young and as the director for the company’s Capital Markets Group, where he led sales and investment activity and assisted in strategic planning and client relationship management.

At Foundry, Don will have a chance to build a best-in-class brokerage firm equipped with a development and investment platform that is truly unique in the Southeast.

multiple ongoing pursuits by Foundry Commercial in the region, as well as new business efforts.

“I have been very blessed to have worked with many wonderful people and organizations in my almost 40 years in the business, and coming to Foundry Commercial is a continuation of that process,” said Albright. “Foundry has an extremely deep platform and institutional resources particularly on the D&I side, an area that has always interested me. My hope is to leverage my experience to help build the bench and grow market share organically or by M&A in the service business line in Nashville with Jason Holwerda and a strong core of real estate professionals similar to what has been done in Florida and the Carolinas. I could not be more excited."

Albright is the second senior leadership recruitment by Foundry Commercial’s Nashville office this year. In February, the commercial real estate firm recruited Vice President Taylor Camp to enhance its landlord office brokerage activity in Tennessee and throughout the country.

HAPPY FRONT PORCH FRIDAY FROM NICK MCKINNEY Today I had the opportunity to visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum that showcases some of her incredible work.

Georgia O’Keeffe (1887 - 1986) was an American artist and best known for her paintings of enlarged flowers, New York buildings and New Mexico landscapes. She has been recognized as the “Mother of American modernism.”

As she was learning and perfecting her craft in school she become unsettled in what she was creating. She was simply copying and emulating other artists but it was in the summers of 1912 - 1914 when she was having to work to pay for continued art school where she became inspired by her teacher, Arthur Dow. Dow helped her create works of art that were more personal to her style, design and interpretation.

When you enter the museum, this quote sits at the beginning of her life’s timeline...

Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest.

- Georgia O’Keeffe, 1976

...I love this quote. No matter where we are, how much we have been given, what talents we possess…how are we making the most of it?

The world fell in love with her work. According to my research - In 2014, O’Keeffe’s 1932 painting Jimson Weed sold for $44,405,000, more than three times the previous world auction record for any woman artist.

I’m thankful she stopped copying others and carved her own path. We all have our own unique talents and the world becomes a better place when they are unleashed.
