Brief Profile

Full Profile

Ben Nolte, CCIM | Senior Advisor | NAI SunVista
Industrial real estate advisor serving owners and occupants across Greater Albuquerque and throughout New Mexico

The Challenge Industrial Owners And Occupiers Face
Owners, landlords, tenants, and buyers of warehouses and industrial properties in New Mexico face a capital-intensive, fast-changing market where each decision affects cash flow, operations, and long-term value. Without a dedicated advisor who understands both acquisition and development, they risk mispricing assets, choosing functionally obsolete facilities, or signing leases misaligned with their goals.

My Approach
Ben guides clients from the first conversation through closing and beyond, focusing on clarity, education, and alignment with each client's desired outcomes. Drawing on more than a decade with an acquisition-and-development-focused firm, he brings a developer’s eye to every transaction—evaluating functionality, expansion potential, and risk alongside pricing and terms. As a lifelong learner, he continually studies market trends and best practices to deliver advice grounded in current data, not just past experience.

Core Services

• Industrial property sales and acquisitions for owners, investors, and users.
• Landlord and tenant representation for warehouse, distribution, and related industrial assets.
• Strategic guidance on site selection, functionality, and expansion potential.
• Market insight and transaction structuring designed to support long-term goals.

Proven Results
Before joining NAI SunVista, Ben spent 12 years with a firm focused on acquisition and development, giving him hands-on experience evaluating, acquiring, and improving industrial properties. His clients include sellers, landlords, tenants, and buyers who rely on his ability to connect market realities with each party’s strategic objectives. Ben’s expertise is also recognized beyond individual deals—he has served as Chair (2023) and Vice Chair (2022) of the Leasing Information Network (LIN), and is a frequent voice on the industrial market in New Mexico business media.
