2020 Next Generation Honoree: Franklin Street’s Alex Zapata is True Team Player

As a senior financial analyst in the capital markets group for Florida and Georgia at Franklin Street, Alex Zapata has been recognized for his team-first attitude and remarkable work ethic.

Through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Zapata has worked evenings and weekends, all while continuing to market Franklin Street on social media. Through his positive attitude, work ethic and insight, Zapata has helped the firm through this time by continuing to close deals and find new partners.

Zapata did extensive research and contacted every partner at the firm to confirm what they were willing to do during the pandemic. This knowledge was critical so that Franklin Street could focus on the right partners to find new clients and close new deals.

These are just a few of the reasons we chose Zapata to be one of the Atlanta and Southeast region 2020 Next Generation Award Winners. Connect Media’s fourth annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders in the commercial real estate industry who are likely to be influential for years to come.
