ATLANTA—Jack Portman has always had big goals. So it's no surprise that he still has a visionary mindset 40 years after he launched his career, despite the challenges.

In this final installment of our exclusive interview series, GlobeSt.com asked the Atlanta commercial real estate pioneer to share his goals for the next phase of the company's journey. He got granular with us, as any visionary would.

"For Portman Holdings, we are invigorated by the opportunities at hand and ahead," Portman tells GlobeSt.com. "We have a new class AA office building going up in Charlotte: 615 South College. We just broke ground on construction and are actively seeking tenants for 2017. In Denver, we have a mixed-use office-and-hotel project under construction. In San Diego, we have a dual-branded Marriott hotel that will complete construction in 2016 and a second hotel that should start construction early next year."
