Contact
Andy Flowers is an Associate with CBRE’s Industrial and Office Advisory & Transaction Services team in Akron, Ohio. He focuses on representing owners, occupiers, and investors in the leasing and sale of industrial and office assets, including manufacturing facilities, warehouse/distribution properties, flex buildings, and new development opportunities. Andy supports clients throughout the full transaction lifecycle—bringing analytical rigor, market insight, and a collaborative approach to ensure each engagement aligns with his client’s strategic objectives.
Prior to entering commercial real estate, Andy built a strong foundation in construction, development, and investor strategy while working in marketing and business development for one of the largest civil and general contractors in the United States. In that role, he partnered closely with executive leadership on growth initiatives, new market pursuits, and large‑scale ground‑up and reutilization projects. Over a three‑year period, Andy helped his team successfully propose, interview for, and secure over $100 million in awarded contracts, expanding business lines and strengthening relationships with major institutional clients.
Andy also brings experience working with real estate investors on acquisition, disposition, and portfolio strategy, giving him a unique understanding of both operational and capital‑market‑driven decision making. While still early in his transaction career, he leverages CBRE’s extensive platform—along with a team of highly experienced industrial professionals—to deliver strong outcomes for clients across Northeast Ohio.
Career Background
With five years of real estate experience and combined construction, development, and business development exposure, Andy brings a technical and operational perspective to every assignment. His background in both the built‑environment and real estate capital planning enables him to support clients evaluating repositioning, redevelopment, new construction, or multi‑property portfolio decisions.
