Spring 2015 issue of Horizons

What does the future hold for Elmington Capital? What kind of growth are you hoping to achieve? Rosenblum: We are planning for Elmington to continue to grow, along the same growth curve that our three primary business divisions have recently enjoyed. Oftentimes a start-up company will achieve a certain level of size and begin to incrementally grow from there. We are spending a lot of time and energy to hire the right people and provide the right infrastructure to grow exponentially versus incrementally. This will include expanding our acquisition area to outside of our traditional markets with entry into Atlanta, the Carolinas and Florida in the next 5 years. I expect within five to seven years, we will begin looking to Texas and perhaps Denver. While Elmington has growth in its DNA, we also are striving to maintain the nimbleness and flexibility that has helped us get to this point.

What do you think about RubinBrown opening a real estate office in Nashville?

Rosenblum: RubinBrown’s decision to enter the Nashville market is well timed. Nashville is starting to hit its stride as a non-traditional location for corporate and regional headquarters. The leadership of both Nashville and Tennessee have fostered an extremely business friendly environment to help lure companies while providing a cost-of- living below the national average and a very diversified and educated workforce. Nashville will continue to expand as the growth of the last few years settles in. I project the life cycle of Nashville’s growth as being in the second or third inning, and if that is true, then RubinBrown is getting in close to the ground floor of what will be a long, stable market with an expanding base of prospective opportunities.
