Kansas’ NAI Heartland boosts industrial team

Overland Park, Kansas-based NAI Heartland has added three CRE veterans to its industrial team.

Brent Peterson, Seth Sinovic and Evan Calkins have joined NAI Heartland’s industrial team. Peterson will lead NAI Heartland’s Industrial Division as Partner with Sinovic and Calkins joining as Associates.

Peterson has more than 18 years of experience in commercial real estate assisting small local firms, as well as large Fortune 500 companies to evaluate their industrial warehouse or manufacturing needs. He has completed numerous Tenant/Buyer and Landlord/Seller transactions and is regularly sought out by his clients and peers for industry knowledge and expertise.

After an 11-year professional soccer career in the MLS, nine of which were with Sporting Kansas City, Sinovic began his career in commercial real estate. His focus is on representing industrial tenants and landlords on sales and lease transactions while continuing his involvement with the charity, The Victory Project.

Calkins got his start in commercial real estate in 2019. Evan represents tenants and landlords in sale and lease transactions in the industrial sector.  He also specializes in real estate technology, Matterport, and analytical analysis, while helping manage and coordinate the team’s efforts and provide extra utility for his clients.

Peterson, Sinovic and Calkins join NAI Heartland from Area Real Estate Advisors in Kansas City, where they were all members of the Industrial Division, led by Mr. Peterson. The three have combined for hundreds of millions of dollars of transactions, involving leasing, purchase, and investment sales.
