A LETTER FROM PAUL ELLIS

Worthy things are hard and they take time. The best relationships we have took years to earn. The deals that matter often started with trust built over years. Our analysts grew from interns into leaders because someone invested in them early. A team that has cared for the same campus for more than a decade still treats it like their own. Maxis Advisors, a firm that just turned 30, hopes to stay true to the same values at 40. Yes, we have to look at much of our business in twelve-month increments. It is necessary, and it never tells the whole story. Serve Week just marked ten years. That did not come from a plan. It came from people showing up, year after year, until it became who we are. That is what building a generational company means. It takes a long-term view, and that is not always easy. It is a choice, made over and over,

to invest in the person, the relationship, and the place. It is what “It’s Personal” looks like when we actually live it, and these stories tell our story. The quote goes (it is attributed to several people): “We overestimate what we can do in one year and underestimate what we can do in ten.” We are entering our 20th year next year, and I believe that quote. Where we are today is beyond anything we ever imagined in 2016 when Foundry was launched. The change ahead in this era can feel daunting and exciting at the same time. You get to choose how you meet it. I will keep choosing gratitude, because gratitude is real, it can’t be manufactured, and it is the most powerful motivating force in the world. Thank you for the way you show up, for each other, for our clients, and for the communities we call home.

Patience pays dividends. In one recent assignment, a longtime homebuilder client called Hudson when it came time to retire. Years of trust resulted in Foundry being selected to market a 16-property, $170-million portfolio throughout the Carolinas. Other relationships have evolved naturally over time. "We primarily represent sellers," Godwin said. "An increasing number of those clients started as buyers that we selected and worked with on our seller rep deals. They liked the way we work to get the best deal for our clients, our buyer selection process, and our communication, and when it came time to sell, they asked us to represent them." Today, the team estimates that roughly 50 percent of their business comes from repeat clients or owners they have represented before, evidence that trust has become one of their greatest competitive advantages. Sarah Godwin, Partner and Karl Hudson, Partner

Grounded in Relationships Ask members of Foundry's Land Advisory team what separates a successful land broker from everyone else, and you probably won't hear them start with acreage, zoning, or pricing. Instead, they'll talk about relationships. That philosophy is shared across Foundry's Land Advisory Group, where brokers throughout the platform have built their businesses on patience, trust, and a deep understanding of both the land and the people behind it. In Raleigh, Partners Karl Hudson, IV and Sarah Godwin offer a fitting example. At the time of this writing, they are actively managing approximately 100 transactions totaling nearly $600 million in value. Many of those assignments have been years in the making – not because the deals have taken that long to close, but because the relationships behind them have. P. 10

That trusted advisor role extends well beyond marketing property for sale. While Foundry's Development & Investments platform has become known for its office-toindustrial redevelopment strategy, Hudson and Godwin are tracking another emerging opportunity in the Triangle: helping owners evaluate whether aging office sites are better positioned for multifamily redevelopment. By guiding clients through rezoning, entitlement and redevelopment considerations before a property reaches the market, they are uncovering value others might miss. That combination of foresight, preparation and trusted counsel is one reason clients continue to return. "Sarah and team have represented Highwoods on multiple successful land transactions," said Carman Liuzzo, Senior Vice President of Investments at Highwoods Properties. "They are one of the most thoughtful broker teams that I have worked with over my 30 years in the business." Liuzzo went on to praise Godwin's diligence, preparation, and reputation within the industry, noting that she works to understand every aspect of a property before taking it to market. That diligence matters because no two land transactions are alike. Some involve inherited family farms or multigenerational estates. Others require rezoning, environmental approvals, or complicated utility capacity considerations. Hudson and Godwin recall one assignment that required relocating a bald eagle nest before approvals could proceed. Another involved helping multiple generations of a family – some living overseas – navigate the sale of property that had been passed down for decades.

Looking Beyond Today’s Market For Tommy Trimble, Partner in Charlotte, one of the biggest challenges isn't market conditions; it's awareness. "It can be sort of a forgotten asset class," he said. "Every commercial real estate project begins with land." Despite tighter capital markets and infrastructure constraints, Trimble believes the long-term fundamentals remain strong. Industrial developers continue searching for sites, homebuilders still need lots and multifamily developers are gradually returning to the market. "General supply and demand still point to a good macrolevel market," he said. "There's still a need for development." Even as market conditions shift, Trimble believes one thing has remained consistent: the business has always been built on relationships. For him, that means remembering that land brokerage is ultimately a hospitality and service business. The best advisors don't simply facilitate transactions; they build trust by making every interaction personal, an approach that reflects Foundry's "It's Personal" philosophy. Long before joining Foundry, Tommy spent his high school summers working at Westmoreland Dairy Farm in Huntersville, then the last operating dairy farm in Mecklenburg County. Decades later, as development surrounded the century-old property, the Westmoreland family entrusted Trimble with selling approximately 200 acres, not simply because he was an experienced land broker, but because he already understood what the property meant to them. "When I was in high school, I never imagined that one day I would have the opportunity to represent the family in selling this farm," Trimble said. "This land is woven into my personal story, and to now play a role in shaping its future has been incredibly meaningful."

The Long Game In Florida, Partner Lawson Dann is seeing another trend shape the future of land transactions: generational change. "We're seeing this across the board," Dann said. "A lot of these families have owned land for generations, but now the kids aren't staying here. They're asking, 'We've got this piece of land… now what do we do with it?' Those conversations don't happen overnight. They're built on relationships that have often existed for decades." One example involved property formerly owned by the Randall family in Orlando's Edgewood submarket. A relationship between the Danns and the Randalls stretched back generations, eventually leading the owners to entrust Foundry with the sale. Last December, Foundry's Development & Investments platform purchased the property for a new small-bay industrial project. Like Trimble's experience with the Westmoreland family, those moments can't be manufactured. They are earned through years of trust. Dann says those longstanding relationships often position advisors to help align the interests of sellers, buyers, and municipalities working to thoughtfully transform properties into places that better serve growing communities. As municipalities welcome opportunities for responsible growth, they often rely on experienced real estate professionals to help navigate infrastructure constraints, balance competing priorities, and guide smart, sustainable development.

Seeing Possibility For Dallas Partner Marty Neilon, successful land brokerage begins with understanding what a property can become. "Land is where every single product type starts," Neilon said. "It's worth whatever you can build on it." He describes land brokerage as balancing three competing priorities: what the landowner wants, what the market demands, and what the municipality envisions. Only where those interests intersect can successful development occur. "To many, land seems simple," Neilon said, "but it can actually be really complicated." Every parcel presents different engineering challenges, ownership structures, and development possibilities, which is why the Dallas team specializes in development-ready industrial, mixed-use, and urban infill sites. Neilon compares the land market to the pistons in a car engine. "They're all firing. Just not at the same height at the same time," he said. "That's why land brokers can't simply follow the market; they have to anticipate where it's headed next." Markets rise and fall. Capital flows in and out. Product types move through different stages of the cycle, and every market recovers at its own pace. Foundry's advisors agree that long-term relationships remain the constant. Whether it's a family deciding what to do with land that's been passed down for generations, a developer searching for the right site, or a municipality planning for future growth, the most successful deals rarely begin with a listing agreement. They begin years earlier – with relationships built one conversation at a time. Across the platform, Foundry's Land Advisory professionals invest years learning their markets, understanding development trends, and building trusted relationships with landowners, municipalities, developers, and consultants. Those relationships allow them to see opportunities others may miss and guide clients through transactions that are often as personal as they are complex. Because while buildings may define skylines, relationships shape the land beneath them. Long before the ribbon cuttings, grand openings, and community celebrations, the brokerage teams that make up Foundry's Land Advisory Group are quietly laying the foundation – one conversation, one trusted relationship, and one thoughtfully executed transaction at a time.

Across the Sun Belt, companies have embraced greater workplace flexibility while reaffirming the value of in-person collaboration. Coming out of the pandemic, many reduced their footprints, but few eliminated them altogether. Instead, today’s office users are making more strategic decisions – investing in spaces that help recruit talent, strengthen culture, and support long-term business growth. Those themes surfaced consistently through conversations with Foundry Commercial office brokers across Charlotte, Orlando, Jacksonville, Raleigh, Atlanta, and Nashville, including Brian Brtalik, Alex Rosario, Gabe De Jesus, Brad Chrischilles, Jane Doggett, Patrick Blackley, Phil Costabile, Shelby Hall, and Dan Bauchiero. While every market tells a slightly different story, their perspectives point to the same conclusion: the office market hasn’t simply recovered – it has evolved. The most consistent trend across every market is the continued flight to quality. Companies are investing more heavily in their workplaces, viewing office space less as an expense to minimize and more as a strategic tool for attracting talent, strengthening culture, and supporting long-term growth. Modern buildings with collaborative layouts, abundant natural light, convenient parking, outdoor gathering spaces, and walkable amenities continue to outperform older commodity office product. In Raleigh, Blackley says today’s tenants are increasingly viewing office space as an investment in people rather than simply a line item on a balance sheet. “Tenants aren’t abandoning the office; they’re right-sizing it. They’re investing more in their workplaces because they know those environments help attract and retain talent.” That same pattern is evident in Charlotte, where Brtalik has watched companies reassess decisions made during the uncertainty of the pandemic. Businesses that reduced their office footprints several years ago are now expanding again, only this time with a greater emphasis on creating environments employees genuinely want to return to. “Companies realized they had overcorrected,” Brtalik said. “Now they’re growing again, bringing employees back, and in many cases, they need better space than they have.” That evolution has also changed what tenants prioritize. Flashy amenities that once dominated leasing conversations have largely given way to practical considerations such as shorter commutes, nearby restaurants, outdoor gathering spaces, and flexible layouts that support collaboration. Across markets, quality has become less about luxury and more about creating workplaces that help employers compete for talent. Location has become equally important. In Orlando, Rosario and De Jesus describe the trend as more of a “flight to location.” Highly walkable submarkets such as Winter Park, Baldwin Park, and Winter Garden continue attracting tenants willing to pay premium rents for an experience that extends beyond the four walls of the office. “It’s not just about the building anymore,” De Jesus added. “It’s about where that building sits and the experience employees have before they even walk through the front door.”

In today’s rapidly changing business environment, longevity is anything but guaranteed. Companies face constant disruption, shifting client needs, and new pressures to adapt.

his has been the Maxis Advisors story for the last three decades: growing with intention, building lasting relationships, and creating a strong foundation for clients, communities, and the team behind the work. Maxis helps companies make confident location and investment decisions by combining strategic site selection, market analysis, labor insights, and economic development incentive expertise into a single advisory approach. Its reach extends across North America, supported by strategic partnerships in Mexico and Canada. “The fact that we have not only lasted for thirty years but thrived for that long makes me very grateful,” said Patric Zimmer, Founder and President of the site selection and business incentives advisory firm. “To me, it simply means that we are doing something right… something right for our clients, something right with the communities that we work with, and something right with our team.”

investment decisions through independent site selection advising and incentive negotiation. DAI spent nearly 25 years serving communities across the United States, supporting projects that represented more than $9.1 billion in capital investment across 42 states and created more than 7,500 jobs. In 2019, seeing room for expansion and growth, DAI became what it is known as today: Maxis Advisors. For Zimmer and the rest of the team, the change was more than a new name. It marked a transformation. At that time, the firm broadened its reach into the Atlanta market, while still calling North Carolina home. The Maxis brand reflected both what the firm had accomplished and what stood ahead. Over the years, Maxis grew to include compliance and real estate advisory services, continuing to serve clients from middlemarket organizations to Fortune 500 companies at the highest caliber. Since that evolution, the firm’s impact has continued to grow. Today, Maxis Advisors has helped drive more than $16 billion in capital investments, creating more than 30,000 jobs across 45 states and U.S. territories. The firm has also secured $2.5 billion in negotiated incentives for clients, with Maxis projects spanning 37 industries. For Senior Managing Director Tom Croteau, based in Atlanta, the intentional way Zimmer built Maxis Advisors is what drew him to join the firm in 2019. “From the beginning, it has been a tightknit team, with a niche focus, valuing the highest level of consulting and creating solutions for companies who are trying to grow in the right location, with the right workforce behind them. Everything from the laser focus to the team camaraderie is exactly what I was looking for,” Croteau expressed.

Founded in 1996, Maxis Advisors grew out of a gap Zimmer witnessed throughout his career: companies were leaving tens of millions of dollars in incentives on the table because they did not know what was available to them or how to access it. With an entrepreneurial spirit, experience in site selection consulting, and a market need in front of him, Zimmer saw a clear path forward. And so, Development Advisors, Inc.

"WHAT MAKES MAXIS SPECIAL IS HOW WE COLLABORATE ACROSS OUR DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES TO FIND THE RIGHT SOLUTIONS FOR EVERY CLIENT."

JESSICA D'ANNUNZIO Executive Vice President

Since joining Maxis, Croteau has valued how closely the team works with clients. The marketplace is constantly shifting, and so are clients’ priorities, but that proximity has shaped some of his biggest lessons. Because the team sees the work up close and knows the people and communities it serves, Croteau appreciates how nimble Maxis can be. “We don’t have one set formula for success, but I think that’s what makes us so great,” he said. “We are constantly reinventing ourselves and listening closely to understand our clients’ priorities and sensitivities.” Since that expansion, Maxis has continued to grow, but these values have never wavered.


FA L L 20 26

“We are a small team, but a mighty one,” she said. “What makes Maxis special is how we collaborate across our different experiences to find the right solutions for every client.”

Brittany Young, Jessica D’Annunzio, and Bob Chase at the Maxis SelectUSA reception in Washington, D.C.

“It’s been clear since the first day I joined in 2021,” said Director of Location Analysis and Incentives Lauren Berry. “This team and culture have been like a breath of fresh air.” For Berry, every day at Maxis has brought inspiration from her colleagues and the way each person strives to put their best foot forward, works together, and remains willing to learn and change to bring each client their best.

The same collaborative mindset that benefits clients also shapes the team’s culture. Since the expansion that came with joining Foundry, team members now sit in different areas of the U.S. Senior Manager Brittany Young and Senior Graphic Designer Jade Simmons are in Atlanta with Croteau and D’Annunzio; Senior Project Manager Jenae Valentine is in Charlotte with Zimmer and Berry; Managing Director Jack Ellenberg is in Columbia, South Carolina; Senior Project Manager Neil Beup is in Hartford, Connecticut; Managing Director George Tobjy is in New York; and Managing Director Robert Chase is in Providence, Rhode Island. Despite working across multiple markets, the team has purposely fostered a close-knit culture that stays connected through weekly calls and a triannual in-person gathering called Maxis LIVE. “Our differentiator is our ‘fire and grit’ mentality,” said Zimmer. “At Maxis Advisors, we celebrate results. We set high goals, and we hold ourselves accountable.

“It’s personal work,” she said. “Our clients are creating jobs for people and communities, and to me, it doesn’t get much more meaningful than that.” For Maxis, the clients they serve come first. Everything else follows. “Even with all the changes we’ve faced particularly with technology, we are still a people business,” said Zimmer, “It comes down to building relationships and serving clients well. It did when we started, and it does now.” In December of 2021, holding tight to that focus, Maxis Advisors joined Foundry Commercial, whose culture, values, and client-first approach Zimmer says have been closely aligned with Maxis since the partnership began. “Now that we are a part of Foundry, there are so many opportunities we didn’t have before to grow the business in different ways,” he said. “We can grow through acquisitions; we can grow through new, complementary business lines; we can grow our footprint both domestically and internationally.” For Executive Vice President Jessica D’Annunzio, who leads the firm’s day-to-day operations and growth strategy, that evolution has been central to her work. Joining Maxis after the Foundry acquisition, D’Annunzio brought more than two decades of experience helping companies optimize their real estate strategies, reduce costs, and make complex location decisions. She has since helped expand Maxis’ advisory platform, particularly for mid-market and global companies entering the U.S. or making significant manufacturing, headquarters, and investment decisions. In recent years, she noted, tariffs and global uncertainty have made clients more cautious, but international investment into the U.S. remains significant. As companies navigate these complexities – often without established local relationships – Maxis helps bridge the gap through strategic advisory services and the broader Foundry platform.

Neil Beup and George Tobjy in Phoenix, Arizona, hosted by the Greater Phoenix Economic Council for economic development panels and the Waste Management Open.

We are attentive to our clients; we are proactive; and we take personal responsibility for making things happen. We work together in all of it.” That commitment to relationships has been the constant throughout Maxis Advisors’ first three decades, enabling the firm to adapt, grow, and continue guiding clients through an ever-changing economic landscape. “I believe we’re one of the premier site selection and incentives advisory firms headquartered in the Southeast, with a reach that extends across the country,” Zimmer said. “My hope is that by our 40th anniversary, we’ve continued to grow while staying true to the values and relationships that got us here.”

ifteen buildings across 14 acres, with history behind every door and seeping out of every crack and crevice. Old Parkland simply isn’t like other office parks.

evolve the campus, that longstanding relationship has grown alongside it, built on a shared understanding of the vision for the property and the level of care required to bring it to life each day.

At Foundry Commercial, excellence in serving every client is the norm. But on the Old Parkland campus in Dallas, operations are held to an even higher standard. Old Parkland excellence is in a league all its own. Uniqueness is at the core of the entire campus and its day-to-day operations. On the frontlines of keeping it running is Foundry Commercial’s property management team.

“I describe it as a commercial asset with a country club or college campus feel,” said Senior Real Estate Manager Jason Boyd, who has been a part of the Old Parkland team for the last eight-and-a-half years. “It is special, to say the least.”

For this team, that difference shows up in the details: how a work order is handled, a guest is greeted, a historic fixture is repaired, and every interaction is treated as part of the larger Old Parkland experience. “It’s hard to have a bad day here,” said Stacy Coulter, Director of Building Management, who leads the Old Parkland team. “I tell people it often feels like I work in a museum because this place is so much more than an office park.” Originally opened as a teaching hospital in 1894, the campus underwent major renovations in 1913 and became known as Parkland Hospital. It was designated a Dallas Historic Landmark in 1987. In 2006, Crow Holdings purchased and renovated the property, beginning its transformation into what Old Parkland is today: a campus and an experience that are hard to put into words. Since Crow Holdings became the campus owner and relocated its headquarters there in 2008, Old Parkland has continued to expand with one goal in mind: to create a place that serves every person who steps onto the grounds while caring for its physical structures with the utmost attention and preserving the campus’s historical significance. The mission was to create a place that, simply put, is built and managed differently. For more than a decade, Foundry Commercial has had the privilege of serving as Crow Holdings’ property management partner at Old Parkland. As Crow Holdings has continued to

In property management, no two days are the same, and being nimble comes with the territory. At Old Parkland, Coulter said, the unique nature of the campus can put that adaptability to the test in unexpected ways. “Crow Holdings gives us the resources and trust to help execute that vision and think outside the box,” Coulter said. “We have the privilege of getting creative all the time.” “Our tenants put a smile on my face every single day,” added Boyd. “The breadth of the campus can look like it’s a lot for our 16-person team to manage, but it’s an honor to work in a place like this one. We make it happen, and we do it well.” Although Coulter joined Foundry and the Old Parkland team in 2025, the group’s close-knit nature made it easy for her to find her place. She joined longtime Old Parkland team members including Boyd, Senior Chief Engineer John Jackson, who has worked at the property for more than seven years, and Real Estate Manager Daisy Soria, who has been there for five. Relationships are at the heart of operations at Old Parkland. From the attentive dining service at the on-campus restaurant, The Green Dragon, to personalized touches throughout the property and greeting familiar faces by name, Coulter said it's those details that make a difference. Old Parkland was never intended to be a place where people simply come and go. It is a place designed to make people feel known and connected to the history that came before them.

The history embedded in every corner is part of what makes Old Parkland’s 14 acres so special. That story extends beyond the property’s own past to include pieces of American history. The campus is home to artifacts ranging from a handwritten letter from Thomas Jefferson and historic photographs from the original hospital’s founding to portraits of the Founding Fathers and influential figures such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Century-old oak trees line the walkways, while the ivy-covered brick buildings draw inspiration from the historic architecture of the University of Virginia. Spaces like the Nurses' Quarters pay homage to Old Parkland’s origins, recalling the dormitories that once housed nurses working at the teaching hospital. The Debate Chamber, meanwhile, was designed to encourage conversation and spirited debate, with rich wood paneling, a domed ceiling, and thoughtfully selected furnishings adding to its distinctive character. So many of Old Parkland’s buildings and physical features were custom-made specifically for the property, and for Foundry’s property management team, that is part of the everyday adventure. Everything from door hinges to railings are one-of-kind, meaning maintenance needs can require a little extra detective work. When something needs to be repaired, the team may first have to track down the manufacturer or determine how a custom piece can be replicated. But for the Old Parkland team, that’s all part of the puzzle. Navigating those unique challenges is also part of what makes each day on the property different and rewarding. Every corner and every building at Old Parkland holds a story, often in unexpected places. Look up at the ceiling in the Green Dragon restaurant, for example, and you might spot a playing card that lodged there during a magician’s performance. Rather than remove it, the decision was made to leave the card exactly where it landed, preserving a small moment that has since become part of the property’s story. That attention to detail is also a reflection of a partnership that has deepened over more than a decade. As Old Parkland has grown, so too has the relationship between Crow Holdings and Foundry, creating a level of familiarity and trust that allows the teams to work closely together in caring for a property where even the smallest details matter.

“Crow Holdings sets a very personal tone in the way it cares for Old Parkland and the people who support it,” said Boyd. “We work closely together, and there’s a genuine level of trust and respect in that relationship. People know each other, ask about each other’s families, and truly care. We’re grateful to be part of that and to work alongside a team that values those relationships as much as we do.” At Foundry Commercial, Will Guidara’s book Unreasonable Hospitality has long served as a resource for thinking about what it means to create meaningful, personalized experiences. Its message has resonated with Foundry’s “It’s Personal” culture and sparked conversations about how that philosophy can come to life in the everyday details.

At Old Parkland, those conversations have taken on a more intentional form. The property management team gathers for a book club centered on Unreasonable Hospitality, using its principles as a starting point to explore how thoughtful, personalized service can show up in their own day-to-day work. Old Parkland isn’t just ‘built differently’ because of its ivy-clad walls, sweeping staircases, and historic details. What truly distinguishes the campus is the people who care for it, working behind the scenes each day to preserve its character and create an experience as thoughtful and distinctive as the property itself. At Old Parkland, the details matter because the place itself matters. And for the team entrusted with caring for it, preserving what makes the campus special means bringing that same level of care to every day, every interaction, and every decision.

THE HUB:

Foundry’s D&I Engine

Foundry Commercial’s Development & Investments (D&I) platform reaches across every market where Foundry has a presence. But at the center of it all is something intentionally built differently: a single team designed to connect it all. That team is known as The Hub.

P. 2 8

FOUNDRYCOMMERCIAL.COM


FA L L 20 26

Based in the Boca Raton office, The Hub is home to a small but powerful group of nine analysts who stay close to every deal from start to finish, intimately involved in each stage, challenge, and opportunity along the way. Whether underwriting opportunities, sourcing debt, coordinating due diligence, supporting capital raises, or helping move transactions toward closing, the analysts of The Hub play an active role throughout the lifecycle of every deal. From the ground up, it is a model built to set Foundry apart from its competitors. “The Hub is a very ‘Foundry’ way to do things,” said Partner and Director of Investments Alex Gonzalez, who leads The Hub. “When you empower your people, your business is empowered. And The Hub empowers.” Foundry often recruits analysts into The Hub at the beginning of their careers, sometimes for their first job out of college. Rather than sending each analyst individually into separate markets to learn the business within a specific geography or focus on a certain asset class, Foundry brings them together in South Florida and embeds them in the heart of D&I's operations. As a result, analysts gain experience across markets and product types, building a perspective that extends well beyond a single specialty. They sit in one room, alongside top D&I leadership, creating an environment where collaboration, mentorship, and knowledge sharing happen every day. “I haven’t really seen other firms do it this way,” Gonzalez said. “It’s definitely not the easiest way to approach the task, but I do believe it makes us better. It pushes us ahead.” Building one cohesive team requires more than simply putting people in the same room. Human nature is complex; bringing together a group of ambitious young professionals and asking them to work as one means navigating different styles, personalities, and perspectives. But rather than backing away from those challenges, Foundry has chosen to lean into the advantages this model creates. That edge has strengthened D&I from multiple angles while also helping each analyst grow individually.

P. 2 9

From an organizational perspective, The Hub creates a shared knowledge base across the platform. Because analysts collaborate on transactions spanning multiple markets and product types, every deal benefits from diverse experience and perspectives. “They’re all working together on everything,” Gonzalez said. “Nobody is ever off on their own.” The result is not only a deeply connected team, but also analysts who can pivot when needed. No one is pigeonholed; everyone remains nimble.


THE PRODUCTION LINE

Central to everything The Hub does — the deal doesn't start when the offer goes out, and it doesn't stop at closing.

That same flexibility allows The Hub to contribute beyond individual transactions through what the team calls “Initiatives,” focused efforts designed to help Foundry grow, improve processes, gain efficiencies, or explore new opportunities outside of a specific investment. Initiatives can range from evaluating whether Foundry should enter a new market or product type to identifying ways to improve underwriting models, reporting, internal communications, or other platform-wide processes. Increasingly, that work also includes exploring how tools like AI can create efficiencies and strengthen decision-making. By bringing its analytical capabilities and cross-platform perspective to these efforts, The Hub helps Foundry test ideas, solve problems, and identify opportunities to work smarter across the business.

SUPPORT The Hub additionally provides support for different workflows across the platform: Capital Markets Reviewing term sheets from LPs and building equity packages from Foundry's Investment Committee (ICOM) packages to entice LPs to invest in D&I deals.

Asset Management Lease analysis, fund reports, and a quarterly re-underwrite of every owned asset for an updated valuation based on leasing, movements in SOFR, and more.

Foundry Investment Management (FIM) Quarterly fund reports for FIM assets and a quarterly newsletter.

With The Hub at the center of D&I operations, every deal benefits from broader insight. More perspectives help strengthen the work, while the close relationships analysts build with Deal Principals foster the trust needed to take on greater responsibility and add value throughout each transaction. This centralized structure also creates a direct benefit for investors. Because The Hub is so connected across Foundry’s markets and broader platform, it provides a higher level of quality control and consistency in how each opportunity is evaluated, underwritten, and advanced. As the D&I platform has grown, that consistency has become increasingly important, serving as a form of risk management that would be difficult to replicate at Foundry’s scale if each analyst were distributed across individual markets. But the model does more than strengthen deals. It accelerates the development of the analysts themselves. The Hub reflects Foundry’s broader commitment to investing in people as intentionally as it invests in deals. Because of where they sit and who they work alongside each day, The Hub’s analysts have direct access to leadership.

P. 31

They are brought into meaningful conversations, trusted with important work, and given room to develop within the business. Vice President Katie Henry is one example. After interning with Foundry in the summer of 2020, she continued working with the firm part-time while completing her master’s degree. Following graduation, she returned to The Hub as a full-time analyst. By 2024, she had become a senior associate, developing expertise in Seniors Housing. In 2025, she was named Vice President for Healthcare Investments. Analyst Tori Schulman followed a similar path, joining part-time before graduating with her master’s degree. As did Bella Moore, now an associate who works closely with Deal Principals to help source limited partner (LP) capital, underscoring how early exposure can evolve into broader responsibility. For Gonzalez, it has been rewarding to watch individuals launch their careers in The Hub and see the lasting bonds the model creates. He pointed to examples like Finn Boynton, who entered The Hub as a senior analyst in 2022 and has worked his way up to Vice President, becoming a trusted peer leader who remains closely connected to the team. At Foundry Commercial, the goal has never been to take the easiest road. It has been to choose the one that builds confident individuals, stronger teams, and a culture designed to last. The deals matter. But the people behind them matter just as much. Within The Hub, Foundry is investing in both.


SERVE WEEK 2026 ONE WEEK. TEN YEARS OF SERVICE.

P. 3 2

At Foundry Commercial, lasting impact has always been the goal. From the clients the firm serves to the communities its associates call home, Foundry is committed to changing people and environments for the better.

Over the past decade, Serve Week has become more than a companywide volunteer effort. It is a tradition associates look forward to: a chance to give back, strengthen team relationships, and unite around a cause bigger than themselves.

Serve Week is one way Foundry lives that promise. In 2026, the annual tradition marked its tenth year.

Through service, Foundry Commercial’s “It’s Personal” tagline becomes more than words. It becomes action.

Born from gratitude for the company’s growth and a desire to serve the communities surrounding Foundry markets, Serve Week brings associates together each year to support local nonprofit organizations. For one week, companywide, teams step away from their desks and into their communities with purpose, giving their time, energy, and resources where they can make a meaningful difference.

Ten years have built trust, relationships, consistency, and impact. As Foundry Commercial looks back with gratitude for the people and community partners who have made Serve Week possible, the firm also looks ahead with anticipation for the years to come.

A look back at Serve Week 2026: Serve Week 2026 began on the beach in Coral Gables, where the team partnered with Clean This Beach Up, an organization dedicated to keeping South Florida’s beaches clean. Working together, Foundry team members removed 127 pounds of trash from South Beach, helping restore the shoreline and leaving it cleaner for the surrounding community. The Dallas team, alongside the road trip team, joined Project Transformation to support its literacy mission of helping students strengthen reading skills and build confidence. During their time with the organization, volunteers coded 1,000 books and cut and laminated 16 sets of reading and learning cards, creating resources that will support students’ educational growth. In Jacksonville, the Foundry team spent the day at The ARC Jacksonville, an organization that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and helps them achieve their full potential while participating in the community. The team spent an exciting afternoon with residents, facilitating bingo and handing out prizes to winners. Through quality time and shared laughter, the team supported the organization’s mission of fostering independence and connection, creating a memorable experience for everyone involved. The Nashville team headed to The Village at Glencliff, an organization that creates a healing community where medically vulnerable, unhoused Nashvillians can safely recover and stabilize their lives. Throughout the day, team members built a pergola to create a shaded gathering space for residents, grilled burgers and hot dogs for a community lunch, refreshed the landscaping around all ten homes, and cleaned and organized the community kitchen to make the space more welcoming and functional.

On the second day of Serve Week, the Boca Raton office returned to Loggerhead Marinelife Center, heading to the shores of Delray Beach to remove debris and litter from the coastline. Their efforts directly supported the nonprofit’s mission of sea turtle rehabilitation and ocean conservation. Palm Beach County is home to one of the nation’s most active sea turtle nesting regions, with more than 25,000 nests recorded in a single season. For the tenth consecutive year, the Charlotte office and road trip team partnered with The Greater Enrichment Program (GEP) for an afternoon of meaningful service and community connection. GEP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the growth and development of school-age youth through after-school educational programming. The Charlotte team hosted six activity stations and spent the day engaging with 80 GEP students. Activities included slime making, visor decorating, temporary tattoos, face painting, water balloon tosses, hula hoop relays, noodle limbo, and freeze dance. Adding to the excitement, Sir Purr of the Carolina Panthers stopped by for a special visit. The Irvine office spent the afternoon supporting the Santa Ana River Jetties Beach Cleanup. Through their hands-on efforts, the team collected 45 pounds of litter and debris from the shoreline. Their work contributed to the preservation of the local coastal environment and helped protect the health of the surrounding ecosystem. On day three, the Atlanta office and road trip team volunteered at Camp Twin Lakes, a nonprofit that provides therapeutic camp experiences for children with serious illnesses, disabilities, and other life challenges. Working together to prepare the grounds for the summer camp season, the team cleared four truckloads of tree limbs, filled approximately 40 five-gallon buckets with weeds from the garden, and removed invasive vines from fencing areas in just four hours. The day showcased the power of teamwork and ended on a memorable note with a visit to the camp’s baby goats. On the fourth day of Serve Week, the Raleigh office joined forces with the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina. Foundry associates worked together to sort 13,800 pounds of food, directly supporting the organization’s ongoing operations, which distribute approximately 1 million pounds of food to community members each week. In Tampa, the team spent the afternoon partnering with Habitat for Humanity of Tampa Bay Gulfside. Over seven hours, the team worked together to complete a full kitchen installation, including cabinetry, closet shelving, and countertops. They also delivered ceiling fans and assisted with loading and unloading lumber. Their hard work directly supported efforts to help families and individuals in need of affordable housing.

From coast to coast, Serve Week 2026 was a fitting celebration of a tradition now a decade strong. While the projects and community partners may change over time, the purpose remains the same: showing up, working together, and finding meaningful ways to serve the communities Foundry associates call home.
