ATLANTA—Wheeler/Brand just wooed Patrick Freeman to its executive team. Freeman, who has a string of credentials behind his name—including CPM, CCIM, RPA, SMA, LEED AP and BOMA Fellow—will serve as executive vice president of property management. He will replace Lois Mittiga upon her 2016 retirement.

Freeman is well-known in Atlanta's property management industry. He comes to Wheeler/Brand after nine years with Columbia Property Trust/Wells Real Estate Funds. There he managed 11 million square feet of class A office space, 37 assets in Atlanta, and 10 other markets across the US.

“Pat is a gifted mentor who will help us grow our management practices for our clients,” says M. Scott Meadows, president of Wheeler/Brand. “In addition to managing a sizable portfolio, his caliber of experience in property management is unmatched in this market.”
