  • #14 - Travis Garland - Portman Holdings and the Rise of Midtown Atlanta
    Mar 31 2026

    Travis Garland is the Chief Development Officer of Portman Holdings. Portman is a legendary company and their real estate industry was founded by the visionary architect John Portman. Travis has been involved in pivotal projects like CODA, Amsterdam Walk and Spring Quarter.

    In this episode we cover Travis's journey from navigating a brutal brokerage market after the dot-com bust to leading major development projects across the Sunbelt. He also pulls back the curtain on Portman’s fascinating history and gives us a masterclass on where the modern office is heading next. From the bustling pedestrian walkways of the Atlanta Beltline to the new "urban edge" of the suburbs, this conversation covers the strategies shaping the cities we live and work in.
