Thomas N. Massey, III, takes the helm as Senior Vice President overseeing the various divisions of First Colony with a concentration on investor relations.  Massey, most recently the Chief Financial Officer of Grubb Properties, was formerly a partner in his own firm, Maye & Massey, providing third party leasing and management services to office property owners. 

"The commercial real estate marketplace is expanding and changing, especially in the development of mixed-use sites," says Massey.  "First Colony is raising the bar in our industry in the variety of products offered and the quality of services delivered.  I am proud to be a part of this exciting process."  All First Colony subsidiaries will fold within First Colony Corporation.

Downie Saussy, well-known from Saussy Burbank, will focus on business development, investment partnerships, land brokerage for home builders, as well as commercial and residential land development.  Saussy began in the home building industry in 1978 and grew his company to building almost 300 homes per year in Charlotte, Raleigh and Charleston, SC.

Charles Campbell, former partner at The Providence Group of the Carolinas, will manage the development and brokerage division overseeing the development pipeline, including office and retail, as well as being the managing broker for third-party leasing and sales activities throughout the Carolinas.  Heath Knott, also a former partner at The Providence Group of the Carolinas, will join Campbell in this division.  Knott will broker and develop single-tenant buildings and oversee various commercial and mixed-use developments, including office, retail and single-family uses.  Activity in this division has been so strong, First Colony is considering expanding it with additional broker support.

Tiffany Slayden will continue to lead First Colony's award-winning sales and leasing efforts of their Class A medical and office product core.  She is joined by Mark Quincy, formerly with Bank of America, as their office portfolio continues to grow across the area.
