Flake & Kelley Commercial

What Flake & Kelley Commercial does

Kelley Commercial Partners, doing business as Flake & Kelley Commercial, is a privately held full-service commercial real estate firm headquartered at 425 West Capitol Avenue in Little Rock, Arkansas, with a second office in Springdale serving Northwest Arkansas. Founded in 1984, the firm employs 100+ professionals across brokerage, property management, facilities, accounting, and marketing functions, and manages more than 7 million square feet of office, retail, industrial, and medical properties throughout the state. Its service lines span brokerage and leasing, retail/tenant/landlord representation, investment sales, property management, consulting (including BPO and government consulting), and development management, alongside a flexible-office suite product at Simmons Tower and One Financial Centre totaling nearly 110,000 SF.

The firm generates revenue through four primary streams: transaction-based brokerage commissions on commercial sales and leases, recurring managed-services fees on its 7M+ SF property management portfolio covering accounting, facilities, and construction management, professional services including consulting, governmental advisory, and Broker Price Opinions, and project-based development management fees for private and nonprofit developments. Pricing is quote-based and varies by transaction scope and property requirements; no public pricing tiers are disclosed. Distribution is direct through in-house brokers and property managers, augmented by an exclusive Arkansas membership in ChainLinks Retail Advisors, North America's leading retail-only real estate services network, which provides access to national retailer relationships for site selection and tenant representation.

Customer concentration is spread across enterprise retail (AT&T, Best Buy, Starbucks, Target, Costco, TJX brands, Five Below, PetSmart, Dillard's), banking (Simmons First, CenterPoint Energy), healthcare (Baptist Health, Fresenius Medical), and corporate office tenants (Acxiom, 150,077 SF). The firm operates under an EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) framework adopted in 2017, holds multiple industry designations among leadership (CRE, SIOR, CPM, CCIM, RPA), and has won the 2024 CREC MLR awards for Largest Retail Lease, Largest Office Sale, and Commercial Real Estate Project of the Year. There is no disclosed AI, proprietary technology platform, or external funding; the firm is wholly owned by its founding family and partners and operates exclusively within Arkansas.
