Hayes & Sherry has grown to become a premier, nationally recognized, full-service commercial real estate and retail brokerage company. The firm has grown its property portfolio from 500,000 square feet to nearly 10,000,000 square feet today. Its services include commercial leasing, tenant representation, investment sales, property investment analysis, land development, retail consultation, and more.

“To have this opportunity is exciting for all of us – Hayes & Sherry enjoys a rich history and we’re looking forward to writing the next chapter,” said Fair. “As a team, and that absolutely includes Pete and Karl, it is impossible to overstate the expertise and experience we bring to the table to help clients capitalize on an ever-changing market. It’s seamless how we’ve moved forward without missing a beat.”

With local roots and global reach, Hayes & Sherry’s client roster runs the gamut having serviced clients across all sectors, including FedEx, Citizens Bank, Amazon, Ventas, Wexford, Johnson & Wales University, FM Global, IGT, Chase Bank, CVS, Blue Cross, and New York Life among others.

Among recent notable transactions, the firm was instrumental in facilitating the land deal to construct the new 4,000,000 square foot Amazon Distribution Center in Johnston, R.I. Once complete, the building will be the largest and most expensive ever built in Rhode Island. 

According to the announcement, the two founders will remain involved and continue to service clients.

Additionally, Hayes & Sherry provides clients an expanded depth of services thanks to its standing as a member of the national Cushman & Wakefield alliance - a leading international commercial real estate services firm with more than 50,000 employees across 60 countries.
