James Caruso

James Caruso is a Senior Associate within CBRE's Industrial & Logistics Practice, based in Atlanta, Georgia. He specializes in tenant representation, advising national and regional industrial occupiers on strategic real estate solutions spanning leasing, site selection, user acquisitions, and supply chain optimization. James has developed a particular expertise working with private equity-backed organizations, helping portfolio companies navigate complex real estate decisions with speed, precision, and a clear understanding of investor-driven objectives.

With a strong foundation in industrial brokerage, James brings a consultative approach to every assignment — leveraging market intelligence, financial modeling, and operational insight to deliver outcomes tailored to each client's specific business requirements. His experience spans a broad spectrum of asset types, including bulk distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and last-mile logistics hubs.

Prior to joining CBRE, James managed a diverse commercial real estate portfolio in Chicago, Illinois, overseeing property operations and capital deployment across multiple asset classes. That experience instilled a nuanced understanding of ownership perspectives and asset performance dynamics — insight he now applies to help occupiers negotiate favorable lease terms and align real estate strategy with broader business objectives.

Outside of work, James remains actively engaged in community service and volunteer initiatives, reflecting the same values that define his professional practice: integrity, collaboration, and a commitment to long-term impact.
