Also in the late 2000’s, Mark helped forge a partnership between Commonwealth Commercial and Lingerfelt Companies to establish a vertically integrated real estate fund management firm, Lingerfelt Commonwealth. Commonwealth Commercial continues to grow with offices in Richmond, Hampton Roads, Jacksonville, Tampa, Nashville, Greensboro, Charlotte, Raleigh and Reading. Prior to Commonwealth Commercial, Mark joined Grubb & Ellis/Harrison & Bates (now Colliers) when they merged with the commercial division of Bowers, Nelms & Fonville in 1987.
