Transwestern Adds Atlanta Heavy-Hitters

ATLANTA—Transwestern's Southeast office is making strategic moves in Atlanta. The firm is growing its tenant advisory service (TAS) practice.

Transwestern is hiring two industry leaders: Clark Dean and Bradley Fulkerson. Deal joins the firm as senior managing director and partner. Fulkerson joins as managing director.

The two new hires are part of a growth strategy set in place last year by Transwestern's Southeast office, which is headquartered in Atlanta, to drive a strategically integrated approach to the tenant advisory, capital markets, and development business lines. Fulkerson will assist Dean in leading the Atlanta and Southeast TAS team. Dean's focus will be larger in scope, taking a seat on Transwestern's board of directors and the firm's National Tenant Advisory Steering Committee.

“These gentlemen are top producers in the market, and inventive leaders with the ability to drive greater success within our firm,” says Bruce Ford, Transwestern's Southeast president. Dean, a cum laude graduate of Harvard University with an A.B. in engineering and biological sciences, was most recently a principal in Studley's Corporate Services Group. There he developed innovative scientific expertise in negotiations and transactions. He will expand upon that platform, which he calls “Transaction Science,” at Transwestern.

Fulkerson previously served as a principal at Cassidy Turley and was part of the transition of Carter & Associates brokerage and property management groups to Cassidy Turley. He will focus on tenant advisory brokerage, working to improve and advance the Transwestern platform in Atlanta and the Southeast.

“Bradley brings a depth of expertise in commercial real estate and a unique perspective,” says Bo Jackson, Transwestern's Southeast managing director and partner. “He and Clark are redesigning the occupier sector of commercial real estate, and we are all excited to work with them on this new period of innovation.”
