MIAMI, Florida (July 17, 2026) - Lee & Associates South Florida continues to expand its industrial brokerage platform with the addition of Sam Ashe as Vice President and Jake Cordes as Associate, joining Principal Greg Milopoulos and Christian Baena on one of the firm's leading industrial sales and leasing teams.

The additions reflect the team's continued growth and increasing client demand across industrial investment sales, landlord representation, tenant representation and industrial outdoor storage (IOS) throughout South Florida.

As Vice President, Ashe brings significant experience in industrial investment sales, landlord and tenant representation, and industrial outdoor storage acquisitions. Prior to joining Lee & Associates South Florida, he sourced and closed more than $24.6 million in IOS transactions while working with private equity firm Open Industrial. Throughout his career, Ashe has participated in more than $40 million in industrial sale, lease and acquisition transactions, including previous experience with Marcus & Millichap's National Office and Industrial Property Group in Washington, D.C. His background in valuation underwriting and due diligence provides clients with a comprehensive understanding of investment economics from acquisition through disposition.

Cordes joins the team as an Associate after earning his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a minor in Real Estate from the University of Florida's Warrington College of Business. His background includes investment sales analysis, financial underwriting and transaction coordination, having supported industrial transactions totaling more than $7 million and over 30,000 square feet. In his new role, Cordes will focus on industrial tenant representation, investment sales sourcing and business development throughout Broward and Miami-Dade Counties.

"Our team has experienced tremendous growth over the past several years, and bringing in professionals like Sam and Jake allows us to continue elevating the level of service we provide our clients," said Greg Milopoulos, Principal at Lee & Associates South Florida. "Sam's underwriting expertise, institutional investment background and extensive IOS experience bring additional depth to our investment sales platform, while Jake's analytical mindset, attention to detail and client-first approach strengthen our expanding tenant representation business. Together, they significantly enhance our ability to deliver strategic solutions across every segment of the industrial market."

Ashe earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from Florida State University and holds an active Florida Real Estate Sales Associate License.

Cordes also holds an active Florida Real Estate Sales Associate License and will leverage his investment analysis and transaction experience to assist industrial owners, investors and occupiers with leasing, acquisitions and disposition strategies throughout South Florida.

Together, the expanded team of Milopoulos, Baena, Ashe and Cordes further strengthens Lee & Associates South Florida's growing industrial platform, providing clients with enhanced market coverage, deeper analytical capabilities and expanded resources across one of the nation's most active industrial markets.
