We strive to create an environment where you feel valued and supported, because your success is our success.

We champion meritocracy, where performance is the true measure of success, not tenure or background. We are committed to promoting from within, recognizing and rewarding individual competency and achievement. At Childress Klein, we empower our team members to thrive and grow based on their contributions and talents.
Giving Back Together
At Childress Klein, we truly value the dignity and worth of every employee. We believe work should be both fun and rewarding, creating a space where everyone can thrive.

Innovation with Integrity
We actively pursue long-term, meaningful financial relationships with our lenders and partners, fully embracing our fiduciary responsibilities with integrity and diligence. Our success is built on innovation and the courage to take bold steps in developing new projects. At the same time, we prioritize conservative financing strategies to ensure maximum protection for our lenders, employees, and partners.

Our History
Since our inception in 1988, we’ve grown to manage a portfolio worth over $3.5 billion, spanning North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee from our offices in Charlotte and Atlanta. Our legacy is built on more than 100 years of combined expertise among our partners, overseeing the evolution of more than 57 million square feet of diverse commercial spaces — from office buildings and bustling shopping centers to innovative mixed-use developments and expansive industrial facilities.
