Bio
Chris Ahrenkiel, Managing Principal at Cushman and Wakefield, is credited for developing some of Atlanta’s most notable office buildings, breaking city sales records and working to attract or expand some of the city’s largest employers. Ahrenkiel leads Cushman and Wakefield's office division, focusing on office development and leasing for the Atlanta-based company. Chris spends a lot of time representing Selig in the community, which is one of his passions. He serves on the Board of Directors of Invest Atlanta (vice chair), the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Atlanta, the ACBR (executive committee), Central Atlanta Progress, the Buckhead Coalition, the AR-PAC Board of Trustees, the Committee for a Better Atlanta, and is a founding member and treasurer of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Foundation. In 2017, he graduated Leadership Atlanta and remains actively involved. Ahrenkiel spent much of his efforts on Selig’s recently delivered tri-tower mixed-use project in Midtown, 1105 West Peachtree, which was the largest project under construction in Atlanta, where he led negotiations with Google, which committed to an over 500,000 square feet lease bringing thousands of jobs to Atlanta’s core.
