WASHINGTON, D.C. – February 9, 2026 – Stream Realty Partners, a national commercial real estate firm offering an integrated platform of services, announces the addition of a premier office tenant representation team to its Washington, D.C. office. Industry veterans and partners for over 15 years, Lou Christopher and Jordan Brainard, along with Asher Inman, join Stream from CBRE, further strengthening the firm’s tenant advisory capabilities in one of the country’s most competitive office markets.
Christopher joins Stream as Executive Vice Chairman & Partner, Brainard as Managing Director & Vice Chairman, and Inman as Vice President. The team specializes in complex tenant representation assignments on behalf of law firms and corporate headquarters, both locally and nationally, and brings decades of experience advising some of the region’s most sophisticated occupiers.
The team will work alongside Kyle Luby, Executive Managing Director & Partner, who oversees Stream’s Washington, D.C. office.
“This is a transformational hire for our Washington, D.C. platform,” said Luby. “Lou and Jordan are among the most respected tenant advisors in the market, with reputations built on trust, results, and long-standing client relationships. Alongside Asher, their combined expertise enhances our ability to deliver best-in-class advisory services in an increasingly complex market.”
With more than 37 years of experience, Christopher is widely regarded as one of the leading tenant representation brokers in the Washington, D.C. region. Over the course of his career, he has completed hundreds of transactions on behalf of AmLaw 200 law firms, Fortune 500 companies, nonprofit organizations, and government affairs offices, providing national and international representation across more than 80 markets.
Brainard brings 20 years of experience advising corporate law firm clients on high-profile, complex transactions. Her career started on the ownership and development side of the business, providing a unique perspective that enhances her ability to negotiate and structure transactions. She has been involved in some of the largest office transactions in the Greater Washington region and is recognized for her expertise in running a consistent process, building consensus, and developing a business case.
Inman joins Stream after serving as a key member of Christopher and Brainard’s advisory team at CBRE. He is the youngest Board Member of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of CoreNet and serves as Co-Chair of the Membership Committee. Inman focuses on tenant representation throughout the Greater Washington, D.C. metro area, supporting business development, transaction execution, and long-term client strategy.
“Stream’s momentum across the country is undeniable,” said Christopher. “Stream combines a people-first culture, a best-in-class platform, and a genuine passion for real estate—and that combination is hard to find. Jordan and I both started our careers at entrepreneurial firms, and we are excited about the ability to grow and shape the tenant representation platform for Stream in Washington, D.C. We cannot overstate how energized we are by this opportunity.”
“Our team takes a highly strategic and consultative approach to tenant representation,” said Brainard. “We pride ourselves on delivering proactive, comprehensive advice that allows our clients to make more informed and effective decisions. That includes creating large-block trophy opportunities at a time when none exist—something we’ve done successfully by structuring and negotiating pre-leases for the only two new-construction office buildings in the District to be announced since the pandemic. We’re excited to bring that mindset and capability to Stream.”
In their new roles, Christopher and Brainard will focus on growing Stream’s Washington, D.C. tenant advisory platform, expanding the firm’s law firm and corporate headquarters practices, and making strategic hires to support long-term growth. The team will continue advising clients who value trusted relationships and bespoke, high-touch service.
“Adding Lou, Jordan, and Asher is a major milestone for Stream and a clear signal of our commitment to building elite tenant representation teams in top markets,” said Chris Jackson, President & CEO of Stream. “They bring extraordinary credibility, deep market relationships, and a proven ability to execute at the highest level. Just as importantly, they embody the collaborative, entrepreneurial culture that defines Stream. We’re proud to welcome them and excited about what this means for our clients and our future.”
