Kate Nolan Bryden, Vice President, Development for MRP Industrial, has been awarded a 2018 Developing Leaders Award by NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association. The award is reserved for commercial real estate professionals under 35 years of age who have distinguished themselves and show promise as a “future industry leader.” Nolan Bryden was one of seven recipients of this year’s national award. There are currently more than 4,500 Developing Leaders among the 51 NAIOP chapters across the country.

Nolan Bryden becomes the ninth NAIOP Maryland Developing Leader member to achieve this distinction over the past 10 years.

“My involvement with NAIOP has significantly accelerated my professional development, given me an expanded appreciation for and understanding of the industry, and helped me to widen my network of relationships including extremely influential industry titans,” Kate Nolan Bryden stated. “Absent NAIOP, I would not have been able to access these accomplished executives that I’ve been fortunate to meet and learn from. Additionally, I am incredibly grateful to be working for MRP Industrial, an entrepreneurial and high-growth company that values the reach and relevance of NAIOP and has supported my involvement with this organization that has broadened my horizons.”
