ATLANTA—Crossman & Company just hired some new blood. The retail leasing, property management and investment sales firm brought David Holcombe on board its leasing team as a senior associate.

Holcombe has a nine-year industry track record of building relationships, strategic planning, and negotiating new leases and renewals. He has sold and leased commercial real estate retail properties in the Atlanta area and across the Southeast and has established close working relationships with retailers, business owners, landlords, and tenant representation.

“Restaurant concepts are doing well, but there is a shortage of A space,” Holcombe tells GlobeSt.com. “Right sizing for box tenants, Staples and Office Max for example, reducing their foot print and like others going with smaller square footage. “With the strong economy there's an opportunity to push rents at renewal and openings are being created to upgrade the tenant mix.”

Crossman COO John Zielinski says the hire is strategic, given the firm's growth and the overall positive momentum of the firm in the market. “His passion for the industry, strategic vision and creating deep client relationships reflects our values and goals.”
