CBRE promotes Pike to lead U.S. industrial & logistics capital markets, CBRE National Partners

CBRE today announced that Will Pike has been promoted to President of U.S. Industrial & Logistics Capital Markets and leader of CBRE National Partners, a team of more than 100 dedicated industrial professionals located in strategic markets across the U.S.

A 21-year veteran of CBRE, Pike has been involved in the disposition of more than 5,500 properties across all asset classes, totaling over $50 billion. In addition to his new responsibilities, Pike will continue to lead the firm’s Net-Lease and Corporate Capital Markets practices.

CBRE National Partners has maintained its position as the market share leader in industrial capital markets transactions for the past 15 years, achieving over $227 billion in total sales volume during this period.

“Will’s extensive industry experience and proven leadership within our Capital Markets team make him exceptionally well-suited to build upon the remarkable success of our Industrial & Logistics Capital Markets platform,” said Kevin Aussef, Americas President of Investment Properties for CBRE.

Pike succeeds Chris Riley, who will transition from his leadership role at CBRE at the end of May to become Chairman of Robinson Weeks Partners, a leading industrial real estate development and investment firm based in Atlanta.

“We are thrilled to welcome Chris as Chairman of Robinson Weeks Partners. Having worked closely with Chris and National Partners for many years, his transition will create further opportunities for collaboration between our two firms,” said Forrest Robinson, Co-Founder, Robinson Weeks Partners.

Riley, who joined CBRE in 2005, was instrumental in creating CBRE National Partners in 2010, uniting five leading regional industrial capital markets practices across key markets.

“Chris’s visionary approach created a unified team that delivers seamless, coast-to-coast service. Clients embraced this innovative model, driving significant growth and solidifying CBRE’s position as the market leader in industrial capital markets,” added Aussef. “This achievement is a testament to Chris’s leadership, the dedication of the National Partners team, and the strength of the CBRE platform.”
