DALLAS—HFF just recently hired Ben Beaird as a director in the firm's Dallas office to focus on land investment sales transactions in the Dallas/Fort Worth market. Beaird has more than 14 years of commercial real estate experience. 

He joins HFF from Beaird Commercial Realty where he was responsible for business development, acquisition of property for developers and investors, and land dispositions. Prior to that, he was the director of economic development for the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce. 

Beaird graduated from Hampden-Sydney College with a Bachelor of Science degree. “The Dallas office has been focused on adding a land specialist to complement our existing sale and finance business in multi-housing, retail, office and industrial product.  We are extremely excited to have added someone of Ben's caliber to our team,” says Andrew Levy, senior managing director and co-head of HFF's Dallas office. 

Beard could not provide additional information or his thoughts on the local market by deadline but we will update if we learn more.
