First National Realty Partners (FNRP), a Red Bank, New Jersey-headquartered private equity commercial real estate firm, has hired Jeff Kellams as director of leasing.

In his new job, Kellams will lead leasing initiatives across the firm’s retail portfolio, with a focus on increasing occupancy, optimizing tenant mix, and aligning leasing efforts with FNRP’s long-term asset strategy.

Kellams has more than 35 years of commercial real estate experience, most recently as vice president of Leasing at Washington Prime Group, where he led multimillion-dollar lease negotiations and supported asset-level execution for retail properties nationwide.

“Jeff brings a wealth of leasing knowledge and on-the-ground experience that will sharpen our execution across the portfolio,” said Sam Collier, chief revenue officer at FNRP. “His ability to structure deals, navigate market dynamics and build strong retailer partnerships will be a tremendous asset as we continue to grow. We’re excited to have him on the team.”
