Elayyan Advances Basis Industrial’s Multi-Market Acquisition Strategy
As Basis Industrial’s Managing Director of Acquisitions and Dispositions, Ahmad Elayyan oversees multi-tenant industrial acquisitions, dispositions, leasing, underwriting, capital markets and capital raising efforts.
Elayyan leads the acquisitions and disposition team, providing leadership and direction to ensure Basis Industrial’s operations align with the company’s strategic goals. In addition, he has played a pivotal role and has responsibilities on the asset management side.
Over the past 48 months, Elayyan spearheaded efforts for many of Basis’s industrial acquisitions, including 7.6 million square feet of multi-tenant industrial space. His leadership has been instrumental in expanding Basis’s portfolio into Georgia, Texas, Alabama, and New York.
One notable transaction he oversaw was the closing of a $146-million industrial portfolio spanning across Florida and Georgia. He also spearheaded Basis Industrial’s $20-million purchase of Chancellor Square, a multi-tenant industrial property located at 8100, 8150 Chancellor Square and 2400 West Sand Lake Road in Orlando.
Despite the heavy workload he faces every day, he prioritizes his mentorship activities. On the weekends, he’s busy in the Carver Park community where he lives, mowing lawns, picking up trash at the local park, and helping the disabled and elderly residents.
These are just a few reasons we chose Ahmad Elayyan as one of Connect CRE’s Florida & Gulf Coast Next Generation Award winners. Connect CRE’s annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders who will have a strong influence on the commercial real estate industry.
