ATLANTA, April 5, 2017 – As Ackerman & Co. continues to expand its Atlanta industrial portfolio, the firm has tapped veteran commercial real estate broker Chris Miller as a senior vice president in its Industrial Services group with a focus on the leasing and sales of Ackerman-owned properties. He will also provide third-party and tenant representation services.
“Chris has deep experience as a commercial real estate broker and an outstanding track record of leasing high-profile industrial and office properties, as well as representing tenants in major lease transactions across Atlanta and the Southeast,” said Brett Buckner, senior vice president and leader of Ackerman’s Industrial Services team. “He’ll be an excellent addition to our industrial group.”
Prior to joining Ackerman, Miller was a vice president at NAI Brannen Goddard, where he represented tenants and landlords in leasing and sales transactions, and represented seven ownership entities in a 2.4-million-square-foot office, industrial and flex portfolio. He also was a senior marketing and leasing manager at First Industrial Realty Trust and a leasing manager at Parthenon Realty LLC.
