Chattanooga, TN – May 16, 2025 – In today’s evolving commercial real estate landscape, office landlords across the Southeast are turning to trusted advisors who understand the unique challenges and opportunities of the post-pandemic office market. David Melton, Managing Broker at Pointe Commercial Real Estate (PCRE), is leading the charge and is recognized as one of the region’s most experienced and effective office landlord representatives.
With decades of transactional experience and a deep understanding of regional office dynamics, David Melton has built a reputation for delivering value-driven leasing strategies that help property owners increase occupancy, retain quality tenants, and drive long-term asset performance. Under his leadership, PCRE has become a go-to resource for office landlords seeking local expertise, market intelligence, and hands-on representation across Chattanooga, Cleveland, Dalton, and the Southeast region.
Melton’s office leasing strategy is rooted in three key principles: targeted marketing, tenant quality, and long-term asset value. He works closely with landlords and ownership groups to develop custom leasing plans tailored to the property’s unique positioning—whether it’s a Class A corporate campus, a mid-sized suburban building, or a downtown mixed-use project.
“Landlords today need more than just a sign in the ground,” says Melton. “They need a strategic partner who knows how to navigate tenant expectations, shifting work trends, and lease structuring in a competitive market.”
His proactive approach includes competitive market analysis, customized marketing campaigns, tenant retention consulting, and deal structuring designed to minimize downtime and deliver optimal lease terms. By staying ahead of market shifts and focusing on long-term tenant fit, Melton ensures owners protect and enhance their property’s value.
As hybrid work redefines space utilization, landlords across Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama are adapting their leasing strategies to attract tenants seeking flexibility, functionality, and amenitized space. David Melton helps property owners respond to this shift with repositioning strategies, space planning consultation, and data-driven recommendations on tenant improvement allowances and lease terms.
“We’re seeing demand grow again, but it’s selective,” Melton explains. “The tenants who are active in the market want better layouts, smart incentives, and responsiveness. Owners who understand that—and deliver it—are winning deals.”
From Chattanooga’s urban core to medical and corporate corridors in Cleveland and Dalton, Melton and his team are active in every submarket, providing landlords with the insights and representation they need to stay competitive.
What sets David Melton apart is his perspective—not just as a broker, but as an investor and operator. With over 40 years of commercial real estate and business experience, Melton understands the financial, operational, and strategic considerations that matter most to landlords. He knows how to drive NOI, balance capex decisions, and support long-term asset goals through smart leasing.
As Managing Broker of PCRE, Melton leads a full-service team capable of handling leasing, marketing, investment sales, and tenant negotiations for office assets of all sizes. The firm’s strong relationships with local, regional, and national tenants further positions PCRE as a key leasing partner for office owners looking to increase exposure and accelerate lease-up.
