What Foundry Commercial does

Foundry Commercial is a privately-held, full-service commercial real estate firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida, operating 13 offices across the Sun Belt region of the United States. The firm runs a vertically integrated platform spanning the full real estate lifecycle, including brokerage (tenant and landlord representation, investment sales), capital markets (debt and structured finance, investment advisory, JV structuring), property management across 4,000+ leases in 29 markets, project management with a $4B+ cumulative track record, incentives negotiation through the wholly-owned Maxis Advisors subsidiary, an in-house marketing services group, and an active Development & Investments arm that has executed $5.6B in total investment value since 2014 ($2.6B currently under management) across 124 investments and 70 completed developments totaling 31M SF. The company serves institutional capital partners (Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Blackstone, PGIM, New York Life, Morgan Stanley Real Estate Investing, Bank of America, Citi Group), corporate users across healthcare, retail, industrial, and office, religious and nonprofit organizations via a 50+ year-old Mission Property Group practice, land developers, and senior living operators through a platform encompassing Spring Arbor, Allegro Living, and the Cascadia Senior Living joint venture.

The firm's go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales with no third-party distribution: 120+ brokers operate as deal principals, market leaders, and development managers embedded in each local Sun Belt market. Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of transaction-based brokerage commissions (commissions on $3B of 2024 transaction value across 77M SF of leasing and management), recurring property management fees, investment management fees on the $2.6B AUM portfolio, professional services for incentives negotiation and marketing, and development/principal investing economics including co-investment alongside capital partners. The firm has executed a sustained acquisition strategy, adding Maxis Advisors (2021) for incentives advisory, Spring Arbor (2022) for senior living real estate, hellojenny (2023) for digital marketing, and Southsource (2023) for Atlanta industrial/office brokerage, while forming Allegro Living in 2025 through the merger of Allegro Management Company with Spring Arbor operations.

The firm has institutionalized capital partner relationships with 100+ lenders (facilitating $20B+ in loan volume across 20+ states) and ongoing institutional co-investment partnerships with Hines, Ares Management, DWS Group, Fortress Investment Group, and others. A deliberate strategic pivot is underway toward office-to-industrial conversion, with 12 such projects closed as of May 2026 including the 809,141 SF Parkside Commerce Center in Research Triangle Park (with Hines/Ares), the 900,000+ SF State Farm campus redevelopment in Irving, TX (with DWS), and the 456,617 SF Baymeadows Way campus in Jacksonville. The firm is not a technology company: it operates on a third-party YARDI platform, has no disclosed proprietary AI/ML capabilities, holds no patents, and has made no technology acquisitions, leaving its competitive position tied to broker relationships, capital partner access, and the proprietary incentives dataset held by Maxis Advisors.
