Alicia Hardwick, leasing manager, Prologis
BACKGROUND: Serving as the leasing manager for Phoenix, AZ, Alicia Hardwick is responsible for driving and executing leasing transactions and renewals, as well as maintaining, growing and cultivating positive relationships within a portfolio comprising approximately 12 million square feet. Hardwick came to Prologis from BKM Management Company, where she was the leasing manager for just under 2 million square feet. During her time at BKM, she negotiated over 1,200 leases. Prior to BKM, Hardwick held several executive leasing positions at various real estate firms including Commercial Properties, Inc., Cassidy Turley, BRE Commercial, and Grubb & Ellis. Hardwick brings more than 14 years of commercial real estate experience in leasing and acquisitions to Prologis. Alicia Hardwick is an active member of NAIOP Arizona.
SOURCE OF PRIDE: “As a leasing manager at Prologis, I am responsible for executing leasing transactions and renewals across a 12 million-square-foot portfolio. I focus on cultivating long-term, positive relationships with customers by responding to evolving needs and challenges. Over the years, I have been able to build great relationships with our customers, the brokers in our market and my counterparts on our team. Enjoying what you do and having fun while doing it go a long way. A smile is an accessory, like a necklace or a watch, it adds a great touch to your personality.”
SURPRISING FACT: “I lost all my hair as a side effect from COVID-19; it is in the process of growing back now thankfully, but it definitely took some getting used to after shaving my head in September 2021. Going through this experience taught me to get outside my comfort zone and get comfortable being uncomfortable.”
SOURCE OF INSPIRATION: “For me, this person was my Grandfather, he had the best sense of humor, we shared a love of practical jokes and there wasn’t anything he couldn’t do. I hope he knew how much our relationship inspired and guided me over the years. He taught me the value of hard work, always taking time out for those you love and that there is more than one way to get things done.”
