Bio
Chris Carmen began his career in commercial real estate in 1985 with one of the nation’s most prominent commercial real estate development and asset management companies, Duke Realty Corporation. During his time with Phillip R. Duke and Associates, Chris’ responsibilities included office and industrial property leasing. Chris’ continued success within the commercial real estate field resulted in the attainment of the title of Vice President of the Indiana Office Group. In 1993, Chris founded Carmen Commercial Real Estate Services. Seeking to fill a void in the Indianapolis commercial marketplace, specifically the need for a firm specializing in the sole representation of commercial tenants, Carmen Commercial Real Estate provided commercial real estate brokerage, consulting, design/project management, and administration services. Over the course of 12 years, Carmen Commercial Real Estate represented more than 300 firms, becoming one of Indiana’s most prolific commercial real estate firms. Chris has authored two books on the subject of facility relocation and commercial lease negotiation: The Office Relocation Planner, How to Search and Negotiate Office Leases, marketed through a publishing company he co-founded in 1997 and then sold in 2001.
