Managing director of acquisitions and underwriting at Basis Industrial
As the managing director of acquisitions and underwriting at Basis Industrial, Ahmad Elayyan oversees multitenant industrial acquisitions, leasing, underwriting, capital markets and capital raising efforts. He spearheaded efforts for many of Basis’ industrial acquisitions, including 3 million square feet of multi-tenant industrial space over the last two years. He leads a team of nine property managers.

He has been a Wells Fargo Scholarship winner. Wells Fargo also recognized him for leading a summer internship program and mentoring first-year analysts.
These are just a few reasons we selected Ahmad Elayyan as one of Connect CRE’s Florida & Gulf Coast 2024 Next Generation Award winners. Connect CRE’s seventh annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders who will strongly influence the commercial real estate industry.
