Matt is a Partner in Childress Klein’s Industrial Division, where he builds long-term client relationships by understanding how each business works and creating real estate solutions that support its goals.

Matt began his career with Trammell Crow Company in 1996 and joined CK in 1998 as a leasing agent. Like many CK leaders, he started in leasing, learning firsthand what tenants need from a building, and that experience still shapes how he develops. He became a Marketing Principal in 2000 and a Partner in 2003, and today helps lead CK’s industrial business.

Matt has led leasing and development at some of CK’s largest industrial parks, including Crosspoint at Palmetto Commerce Park, a 2.2 million-square-foot park in Ladson, S.C., and Camp Hall, a 104-acre, 1.4 million-square-foot development in the Charleston region. In the Charlotte area, his work includes The Concourse and its 603,200-square-foot Home Depot build-to-suit, Nevada Business Park and Brookwood, along with build-to-suits for Gordon Food Service, Daimler Trucks North America and Chicago Pneumatic.

Across 30 years in commercial real estate, his projects have ranged from warehouses and manufacturing facilities to fully automated distribution centers, and his experience spans multi-property leasing and sales, complex land acquisitions, corporate dispositions and build-to-suits. Today he focuses on finding exceptional industrial investment opportunities for occupiers, private owners and institutional groups.

Matt holds an MBA from Vanderbilt University’s Owen Graduate School of Management and a B.S. in Business from Miami University, and is a licensed real estate broker in North and South Carolina. He is a past director of the Charlotte Region Commercial Board of Realtors, Child Care Resources and Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte.
