Minter has 22 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry and has been involved in over $14 billion of sales or financing transactions. Most recently, he headed the investment sales units for the Americas at Jones Lang LaSalle and Trammell Crow Company.

At Peloton, Minter will focus on raising both debt and equity for the firm's clients and investments sales – both acquisitions and dispositions. He will initially focus on office properties with the expectation of moving into industrial, retail and multifamily as the market allows.

"We think there is an opportunity to focus on the investor side of the business," Minter tells GlobeSt. "We don't feel the bigger firms are focusing on investor business anymore. They're choosing to focus on the corporate and user side of the business."

Minter also will be involved in bringing on new property management and leasing assignments. Additionally, he plans to expand the Peloton platform to other cities in the Southwest including: Austin, Denver, Houston, Phoenix and San Antonio. "We'd like to expand our footprint," he explains, adding that the firm could achieve that objective either by partnering with existing local firms or bringing on local talent.
