Katy Figg and Nancy Sumner, Senior Directors of Colliers Northeast Florida, are consistent in providing real results for their clients with their dynamic approach to Landlord representation. Katy and Nancy are the sole retail brokerage team in the region exclusively dedicated to Landlord leasing, supported by a multi-faceted international firm that offers a range of services to benefit their diverse portfolio.

The team’s concentration in this niche provides their clients with invaluable resources and unparalleled expertise.  Their experience extends to engaging across all phases of ground-up, mixed-use retail, and redevelopment projects. Katy and Nancy’s portfolio of 2.5 million square feet consists of grocery anchored and power centers, boutique retail, and mixed use developments. The team has a comprehensive approach to marketing a project, including an in-depth understanding of the trade area and competition, creating a an intentional merchandising plan to deliver the highest and best uses that incentivize cross- shopping between retailers, and developing strategic target list using void analysis, retail marketplace profiles, along with several other Colliers resources.

Katy and Nancy continue to grow their revenue along with their portfolio year over year; in 2021 the team closed 56 deals with a transaction total of over $31m, with over 113,000 square feet leased and over 212 acres sold. Both Nancy and Katy have been active members of ICSC for over 15 years, are consistently named Costar Power Brokers, and have provided their expertise in a number of media articles focused on commercial real estate in North Florida. 

I most recently served as a North Florida market Partner and Senior Leasing Advisor for The Shopping Center Group, where I  managed 40 properties totaling more than 7.5 million square feet of retail space.  I have  over 12 years’ experience in landlord representation and lease negotiations in retail services to grow Colliers International
Northeast Florida’s landlord services. I specialize in neighborhood shopping centers, ground-up, mix-use retail, grocery-anchored and redevelopment projects through a meticulous understanding of the surrounding trade areas giving landlords analysis of the voids within the submarket to attract new retailers.


 

My current brokerage practice is focused on corporate services, providing real estate consultation to public and private entities. One of my largest accounts is the local transportation entity, the Jacksonville Transportation Authority. I manage both their surplus disposition efforts and their acquisition strategy. Their portfolio is valued at over $30 million. I provide a wide range of services, including but not limited to property sales, property acquisition, market analysis, lease analysis, government affairs and general market intelligence. I am frequently involved with executive level discussions and interact with their Board regularly. Additionally, I represent the St. Vincent’s Hospital Ministry for Ascension Health here locally. I manage dispositions, acquisitions and their income and expense leasing activities. My largest national account is Torchmark/Liberty National. I work with their Director of Real Estate to identify new office space for their insurance brokers across the country.

I am a native born JacksonvillIian. I attended Stanton College Preparatory School before graduating from Florida State University in 1997 with a B.S. in Political Science. After school, I moved to Washington, D.C. to begin a career in politics. After stops in multiple Congressional offices, the Republican National Committee, FEMA and a government affairs firm, I was given the opportunity to begin a career in real estate back home in Jacksonville in 2005. Working for a small development firm, we  developed 50,000+ square feet of Class A  office condominiums throughout Northeast Florida. I was the lead on bank and investor negotiations for investment capital and loan arrangements.

I was called to duty once more in D.C., taking a position as Executive Director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Political Affairs Department from January 2012 until October 2014. I managed the program’s voter education campaigns and political intelligence gathering.
