In what marks its third expansion in 2023, Baton Rouge-based commercial real estate brokerage firm Elifin is opening a new location in the Chase Tower in downtown Lafayette.
Brandon Abdella, a Broussard native who specializes in industrial sales and leasing, will be the firm’s first agent.
This will be Elifin’s fourth office, expanding from current locations in Baton Rouge, New Orleans and Columbus, Ohio.
“The demand for us to do business in Acadiana from our existing clients and prospective clients has increased exponentially, indicating that it was clearly time for us to establish a permanent presence in the market,” says President and CEO Mathew Laborde. “I was born and raised in Lafayette, so taking Elifin to my hometown was always on my mind. It’s just been a matter of the right timing and the right team.”
In March, Business Report recognized Elifin as a 2023 Company of the Year. The homegrown firm has grown exponentially since Laborde opened it in 2016.
