As Director of Industrial Leasing, Elise markets and leases space across Childress Klein’s industrial portfolio, from flex space to build-to-suit projects.

She handles lease negotiations and tenant retention with a strong focus on service. As part of the industrial team, she works with institutional owners, investors, developers and companies on behalf of landlords, tenants, buyers and sellers.

Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, Elise tailors strategies to each client, drawing on CK’s market insight and experience with warehouses, manufacturing plants and every type of industrial space in between.

Elise leases space across some of CK’s largest Charlotte-area parks, including NorthPark, Brookwood, Pine Brook and Arrowridge, nearly 3.9 million square feet combined. Her transactions include a 208,000-square-foot lease with Vital Pharmaceuticals at Afton Ridge II, leases with Border States Industries and Expeditors International at The Concourse, and Pacific Asiana’s 94,500-square-foot lease at Nevada Business Park.

Elise joined CK in 2015 as a leasing agent after serving as gallery director at Anne Neilson Fine Art, and has since risen to Director of Industrial Leasing. She holds a B.S. in Finance and Banking from Appalachian State University, is a licensed real estate broker in North and South Carolina, and serves on the Childress Klein YMCA Board of Managers.
