Women in Real Estate 2018: Hanback Leads Rockefeller Group’s Industrial Expansion

Foreign Trade Zones are one of the specialties of the house at Rockefeller Group, and Brandi Hanback’s background made her a logical choice to run the Rockefeller Group Foreign Trade Zone Services platform. She was KPMG’s Washington, D.C. area leader when she came aboard at Rockefeller Group in 2003, but previously she served for 10 years as executive director of the National Association of Foreign-Trade Zones.

That’s just one reason we chose Hanback as one of the 2018 Women in Real Estate Award winners. Connect Media’s Women in Real Estate Awards honor the achievements and inspirational stories of women who have reached respected positions of leadership and play key mentorship roles for others.

In 2013, Hanback assumed the additional responsibility of leading Rockefeller Group’s industrial development activities in its regional offices covering the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, West Coast, Southwest and Northwest. Since then, the company’s industrial development portfolio has grown substantially, with more than 12 million square feet in the current pipeline.

While the company is proud of its accomplishments in expanding the industrial development platform, Hanback believes that Rockefeller Group is just ramping up with projects such as the recently-completed Optimus Logistics Center in the Inland Empire, and Rockefeller Group Logistics Center in Piscataway, NJ. Under her leadership, the company has identified natural next steps in its growth where the team can be confident in the prospects for success.
