MIAMI—Described as high-energy by her peers, Kinsey Hinkson, a property manager at Granite Properties currently manages a diverse commercial office portfolio in Atlanta totaling over 700,000 square feet. Besides an attention to detail, she believes it's important to motivate people and to remain “on the go.”

Granite Properties has acquired or developed more than 20 million square feet of commercial real estate and is known for taking an unusually long-term view. Hinkson adheres to that philosophy in her day-to-day work.

“Having taken a heavier hit than some other markets during the downturn, Atlanta remains a bit behind during the recovery,” Hinkson tells GlobeSt.com. “As the capital of the Southeast, however, Atlanta is still an attractive place to do business, and the market is demonstrating resilience.”
