Adam Keith

Bisnow

Born and raised in South East London, Adam has always been a ken sportsman; representing his high school in Soccer, Rugby and Cricket. He started his working life as a Police Constable in Central London and then moved on to becoming a “Mens Grooming Expert” (which led to him appearing on The Times, The Telegraph, The Independent & GQ). This career path bought Adam to Dallas, Texas where he met his wife and decided to settle down. In Texas, Adam chose to start over or “re-tool”, and pursued a Management Degree at SMU. Once his studies were complete, Adam moved into sales of HVAC where he touched many commercial construction projects. Adam loves the thrill of new challenges, and meeting new people and can't wait to start his career with Bisnow in Dallas.

  2. What is happening with your development pipeline currently and when do you expect activity to pick up again?

  3. Many markets are beginning to reopen. From your perspectives as a landlord and leasing platform, how quickly is activity picking up within office environments?

  5. What are the opportunities you see for your business and for commercial real estate as a whole during these challenging times?
