Experience
Jackson Rives, Principal Industrial Services for Foundry’s Industrial team in Raleigh-Durham, brings 17 years of commercial real estate experience as he oversees the leasing and development of more than six million square feet of Class A industrial properties. He is also a trusted advisor to users, developers, and owners for location analysis, site selection, and building design. Jackson has an ownership mentality in all aspects of the business, making recommendations as if it were his own money.
As a tenant representative, he uses his extensive market knowledge to negotiate the strongest terms for his clients. He has represented a broad range of clients, and since 2015 has represented an e-commerce client in the acquisition of land and/or space to produce five million square feet of warehouse and distribution space.
By transacting more than one million square feet annually since 2012, Jackson consistently leads the market in industrial leasing and sales. He has also ranked in the top 10% of Foundry producers across the platform since joining Foundry in 2015.
