Tracey Hyatt Bosman, a longtime site selection professional with Biggins Lacy Shapiro & Co., has obtained the prestigious Counselor of Real Estate credential.
The Princeton-based firm said Bosman, a managing director, develops and executes location selection strategies for corporate and institutional clients. She does so with more than 20 years of experience across a wide range of sectors, including data centers, manufacturing, headquarters, back office and contact center operations and logistics, having established herself as a leader within BLS & Co.
She’s now among fewer than 1,100 real estate professionals to hold the CRE credential from The Counselors of Real Estate, an international group of high-profile real estate practitioners who provide expert advisory services to clients on complex real property and land-related matters.
“This recognition is a reflection of the strategic, data-driven approach we bring to every client engagement at BLS & Co., and it reinforces the importance of objective, high-integrity counsel in today’s complex location and incentives landscape,” Bosman said. “I’m proud to be recognized alongside the industry’s most respected advisors in this community that values rigorous thinking, collaboration and trusted expertise at the highest level.”
According to a news release, Bosman has advised world-renowned companies in identifying the optimal locations, securing incentives, obtaining development approvals and designing energy and other infrastructure strategies. She is a certified economic developer, having worked at the county and state levels, including as vice president of policy and operations for the Chicago-area Lake County Partners and senior manager of prospect activities for the South Carolina Department of Commerce.
Established in 1953, the Counselors of Real Estate is an international professional organization whose members provide objective, reliable advice and counsel on matters affecting all forms of real property in the United States and abroad, the news release said. Members include ranking representatives of real estate consulting, financial, legal and accounting firms as well as leaders of Wall Street, government and academia.
Membership in The Counselors of Real Estate is selective and extended by invitation only, attesting to the practitioner’s expertise and proven competence in his or her chosen area of real estate, BLS said. Members receive the CRE credential in recognition of proven superior problem-solving ability, while they must adhere to a strict code of ethics and standards of professional practice and are recognized in the marketplace as having consistently demonstrated the highest levels of knowledge, experience, integrity and judgment.
