Cooper comes to Partners from SRS Real Estate Partners, where he ranked among the firm’s top producers nationally

Dallas – August 3, 2026 – Partners Real Estate (“Partners”), a private partnership-led, fully-integrated commercial real estate firm, today announced that top-ranked broker Joseph Cooper has joined the firm as Equity Partner on its Industrial team in Dallas.

“Joseph is exactly the kind of talent we want at Partners: driven, entrepreneurial, and built to compete at the highest level,” said JJ Leonard, Partner and Managing Director of Partners’ Dallas office. “Adding yet another industry-leading industrial brokerage professional like Joseph at the Equity Partner level underscores our ongoing commitment to enhancing the services and investments we offer our clients, and further demonstrates the significant drawing power of Partners’ distinctive business model, platform, and structure, where the professionals who drive value own the firm and share in its full wealth-building potential.”

Mr. Cooper joins Partners from SRS Real Estate Partners, where he served as an Executive Vice President and Principal, and helped establish and scale that firm’s industrial practice. In under two years, he climbed to the top ranks of the firm’s producers nationally, finishing 2023 ranked #7 among roughly 200 brokers firmwide. That year, he completed 44 lease transactions totaling 1.2 million sq. ft. and 11 sales transactions valued at $47.9 million, including a 100,000-sq.-ft. lease in Phoenix for the world’s largest HVAC manufacturer and a 74,000-sq.-ft. building sale in Garland, Texas. That production earned him recognition as a National winner in Connect CRE’s 2024 Top Broker Awards.

“Partners’ client-centric model—the most unique in the industry, with a three-pillar platform of Services, Investment and Development that’s wrapped in an equity partnership—alongside its ambitious growth is what drew me here,” said Mr. Cooper. “The company’s depth and collaborative culture put the client at the center of everything they do, and this is what it takes to win in a market as competitive as Dallas. I couldn’t be more excited to be part of what’s ahead.”

Joining Mr. Cooper in Partners’ Dallas office is Associate Katrina Kieu. Ms. Kieu began her career with internships at Stream Realty Partners and Weitzman before moving to SRS’s industrial team full-time following her graduation from the University of Texas at Dallas.

Mr. Cooper and Ms. Kieu join a run of recent high-caliber hires in Partners’ Dallas office, including JJ Leonard as Partner and Managing Director, and Chris Wong as Equity Partner focused on Industrial Outdoor Storage (IOS).
