TAMPA, FL—Franklin Street isn't being shy about its expansion plans. The commercial real estate firm tipped its hand by hiring two veterans that should expand and strengthen its office and industrial platforms in the Southeast.

Clay Wommack and Julie Palmer-Nicholson both join as directors of Franklin's Office and Industrial Services service group, headquartered in Tampa. The duo comes to Franklin from CBRE, where Wommack served as vice president and Palmer-Nicholson as director of asset services. They are coming on board just months after Franklin hired Chris Butler and Chad Rupp to lead the company's office and industrial division.

"They are both extremely talented professionals who will add a lot of value to the organization immediately,” says Butler, a co-managing partner of the Office and Industrial Services group. “They are well-connected and bring a skillset that will help us fast track the growth of our office and industrial business."
