The Pine Ridge Business Park portfolio is pleased to introduce John Drowns as the new General Manager effective April 1, 2021.
John began cultivating his passion and knowledge of the commercial real estate industry while working for an office/flex developer before and during high school in Kansas City. Prior to joining Block Real Estate Services, LLC (BRES), he graduated from Arizona State University and began his commercial real estate career in Phoenix with CB Richard Ellis, Inc. as a Financial Consultant. While also in Phoenix, John worked as an Investment Sales Professional assisting in the marketing and selling of multifamily properties with Transwestern.
With family as a large motivating factor, Mr. Drowns returned to the Kansas City area and joined BRES as the Construction Manager for Corporate Woods Office Park where he oversaw all tenant improvement projects. Most recently, John was working as the Investor Relations liaison for Block Funds where he assisted investors in placing capital for commercial real estate investments. His expertise extends across all major property sectors, including office, retail, industrial and multi-family.
John resides in Mission, Kansas with his wife Amy and their five animal rescues. He enjoys friendly competition in any form and has been learning to play pickleball along with trying to hit a golf ball straight. While the latter could be a full-time job in itself, spending time with family and friends is paramount.
“I look forward to being of service to you and your business while getting to know you personally.”
