Advisor Profile

Erik Riekenberg

Advisor · Industrial Real Estate Advisors · Cushman & Wakefield

Erik came to commercial real estate the way most clients come to it: from the operator's chair. Fifteen years in the corporate world at Intuit, more than twenty years building and running his own business, and an electrical engineering degree from the University of Nevada, Reno, in a market where power is now the gating site selection variable. He represents tenants and landlords in lease negotiations and buyers and sellers in sales, and he reads a client's operation because he has run one.
