Kaye/Bassman International Names Lee Martin Managing Director & Practice Leader of North Division, Construction and Real Estate Practice

July 6, 2026 –

Plano, TX – Kaye/Bassman International (KBIC) is excited to announce that Lee Martin has been named Managing Director & Practice Leader of the North Division within its Construction and Real Estate practice.

In this expanded leadership role, Martin will lead the continued growth of the firm’s Commercial Real Estate, Building Construction, and Construction Technology practices across the Northern United States, further advancing KBIC’s integrated built environment capabilities.

Over the past year, Martin has expanded the reach of the Construction North Division beyond its Midwest foundation, building relationships and delivering senior-level talent across the Northern United States. His track record of client partnership and market expertise has positioned him as a key leader within the firm’s Construction and Real Estate practice.

“Our clients are no longer operating in silos, and neither are we,” said Lee Martin. “Commercial real estate, construction, and technology are deeply interconnected, and our goal is to bring that expertise together to better support how clients build and operate.”

The division’s capabilities have been further strengthened through the integration of Chris Rose, who brings broad Commercial Real Estate experience across advisory and investment services, and Alex Gillespie, who leads the firm’s Construction Technology practice, expanding Kaye/Bassman’s ability to serve clients at the intersection of construction and emerging technologies.

Additionally, the acquisition of Huey Enterprises in September 2025 added industry veteran Scott Huey and his established Commercial Real Estate practice, further expanding the firm’s Midwest presence and market coverage.

Under Martin’s leadership, Kaye/Bassman will continue expanding its Construction and Real Estate Practice, delivering specialized executive search solutions across Commercial Real Estate, Building Construction, and Construction Technology while helping clients build the leadership teams shaping the future of the built environment.
