Foundry Taps Alex Olofson to Lead Capital Markets Growth in Charlotte
Foundry Commercial is pleased to announce that Alex Olofson has joined its Capital Markets Practice Group as Vice President, becoming the first representative of the firm’s Investment Advisory Group (IAG) in Charlotte. In this role, Olofson will focus on the sale and capitalization of office, industrial, and retail assets across the Carolinas on behalf of institutional and private owners, family offices, and high-net worth investors.
Working alongside IAG professionals across the Southeast and Texas, Olofson will support clients with integrated capital markets advisory services that combine deep local expertise with Foundry’s strong regional presence.
Olofson brings more than a decade of commercial real estate experience to Foundry. He began his career in 2016 on Stream Realty Partners’ office leasing team in Charlotte before transitioning to their Capital Markets team, where he worked on the sale and acquisition of office and industrial properties. Over his career, Olofson has facilitated more than $500 million in office, industrial, and retail investment property and lease transactions, earning a reputation as a trusted advisor and strategic problem-solver.
“Alex brings substantial experience in office and industrial investment sales and a deep understanding of the Charlotte market,” said Rick Helton, Partner and Managing Director. “We’re excited to have him on the team as we continue expanding our Investment Advisory Group and strengthening our ability to serve clients throughout the Carolinas.”
Olofson added, “We see strong momentum and significant opportunity as investor confidence continues to grow throughout the Carolinas and heading into 2026 . Our team’s goal is to provide clients with strategic solutions that deliver real value and long-term results, by combining local market insight with Foundry’s broader advisory capabilities.”
Olofson joins Foundry at a time of rapid expansion for the Investment Advisory Group. The platform strengthened its Carolinas coverage last spring with the addition of Raleigh-based Senior Vice President Blake Thomas. It further expanded its reach in the Southeast with the hiring of Dale Peterson and Joe Chick last month, a highly regarded investment sales team focused on Central and North Florida, reflecting rising client demand for advisory-led strategies and local market expertise amid evolving office and industrial investment trends.
