Phoenix, Ariz. (June 3, 2026) – Kidder Mathews is pleased to welcome Vice President Cory DeLong, SIOR, to the firm’s Phoenix office. He brings more than 15 years of experience specializing in industrial property acquisitions, dispositions, development, leasing, and tenant representation for local and national clients.
Licensed in Arizona, Missouri, and Kansas, DeLong has built longstanding relationships with national occupiers, investors, and developers, serving as a trusted advisor on real estate initiatives across multiple markets throughout the United States. His ability to combine local market expertise with a broader strategic perspective has made him a valued resource for organizations navigating complex real estate decisions.
"Cory brings a combination of broad industrial expertise across multiple states and deep local market knowledge," said Darren Tappen, Regional President of Brokerage. "That balance, paired with the relationships he's built over his career, makes him a fantastic addition to our Phoenix team."
“I was drawn to Kidder Mathews because of its collaborative culture and entrepreneurial approach,” said DeLong. Real estate is rarely just about finding a building or completing a transaction. The best outcomes come from understanding a client’s business, challenges, and long-term goals. I’ve built my career around serving as a trusted advisor, and I’m excited to continue that approach while collaborating with the talented professionals at Kidder Mathews.
DeLong holds the SIOR designation, awarded by the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors to commercial real estate professionals who meet rigorous standards in production, ethics, and professional achievement. It is widely recognized as one of the industry's most prestigious marks of transactional expertise.
