ATLANTA— Wheeler/Brand is beating the growth drum. After closing a record $60 million worth of leasing tractions in 2015 and getting off to a strong start in 2016, the company is adding new blood to its Duluth office . Wheeler/Brand hired Jason Whitworth to serve as senior vice president of business development. He brings over 16 years of commercial real estate experience to the company. The firm made several strategic hires last year . Whitworth has worked with some of Atlanta’s best-known firms including Julian LeCraw & Company , Carter & Associates , and Commercial Property Professionals . Most recently, he was senior vice president at the Walton Group of Companies , where he closed key transactions, including 10,000 acres of land (parceled into 22,000 residential lots) and over 8.4 million square feet of commercial space. “We are primarily scouting to secure third party management and leasing assignments for retail, office and flex properties,” Whitworth tells GlobeSt.com. “Today, the Wheeler/Brand portfolio consists of roughly 5 million square feet and we are looking to double that by 2020.” Whitworth say the challenge lies in finding property owners who would like to make a change from their current situation or catching a prospective purchaser before a property changes hands. What does he sees for 2017? “We are hopeful investment property sales will continue at a brisk pace in 2017,” Whitworth says. “Opportunities for Wheeler/Brand are created as these properties change hands.”
