After he joins IDI on March 1, Tardy will work with Mitchell in growing the company's national management portfolio of 51 million sf. Tardy will work out of IDI's corporate headquarters in Atlanta and oversee a third-party portfolio of 29 million sf owned by 12 institutional investors and a long-term hold portfolio totaling 19 million sf, according to Bert Calvert, senior vice president of real estate management for IDISG. Tardy will also have direct leasing responsibilities in the Atlanta region.
Tardy calls his decision to join IDI "a perfect fit" for his professional career. Sean Coughlin, a principal in the marketing group at TPA, tells GlobeSt.com Hardy "will be missed and we hate to seem him go" but "this was a great opportunity for him." Couglin hired Tardy 10 months ago from Duke Realty. "We have nothing but positives to say about him," Couglin adds. "He was a tremendous asset for us." To replace Tardy, Couglin has hired Bryan Heller from Transwestern's commercial group and Ryan Hoyt from Grubb & Ellis.
At TPA, Tardy was vice president of leasing, responsible for leasing and build-to-suit projects at the company's business parks in metro Atlanta. He was previously vice president of office leasing at Duke Realty Corp. where he was recognized as the company's national top producer in 2003 and national top-five producer in 2001 and 2002. He also is a 10-time NAIOP Million Dollar Award recipient.
