"Working inside an operating business changed how I look at buildings. You stop seeing square footage and start seeing workflow. That perspective still guides his work today. It helps him understand tenants and advise property owners with more clarity."
"I grew up here. Houston is home. Knowing the city block by block changes how you see opportunities. His early life shaped his outlook on industrial real estate development and market evolution."
"It taught me not to waste time. You learn quickly that relationships matter and that how you treat people lasts. She showed me resilience by example. You keep showing up. You do the work. You put your best foot forward."
Andres Aiza, a Senior Associate at Alpine Partners, has developed a career in Houston's industrial real estate market by combining local expertise with operational insight. Growing up in Houston and attending the University of Houston's Bauer School of Business provided foundational knowledge of the city's industrial evolution. Before entering brokerage, Aiza worked three years at Top Foods Inc., a tortilla chip manufacturer and importer, where he gained practical understanding of logistics, manufacturing, and space requirements. This operational experience fundamentally changed his perspective on real estate, shifting his focus from square footage metrics to workflow efficiency. Personal experiences, including his father's death when he was 16, instilled values emphasizing relationships and consistent effort. His approach centers on understanding both property owners and tenants while maintaining long-term thinking in a fast-moving market.
