Loretta H. Cockrum

FOUNDER,CHAIRMAN AND CEO

Loretta Cockrum is a consummate businesswoman led by her sense of responsibility to her clients and future generations.

Ms. Cockrum founded Foram in Atlanta in 1978, not for the benefit of its CEO but for the benefit of her clients. Foram’s mission is to manage and develop real estate investment portfolios for families who have a multiple generational wealth preservation strategy. It is with this philosophy and obligation that Ms. Cockrum has developed and maintained client relations for more than 30 years. She shares this fundamental belief with her staff and drives home the need to put the client first – always and without fail.

In a time when Georgia real estate was dominated by men of great caliber, Portman, Cousins and Barry to name a few, Ms. Cockrum quietly ventured into the business of finding agricultural land for high-net-worth individuals, and transitioned from her duties as a broker to a fiduciary. Foram acquired mostly agricultural properties in Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Colorado.

With her sense of social responsibility, devotion to sustainable practices and a fundamental obligation to preserve and enhance the wealth of the client, Ms. Cockrum and her team made a business decision in 2005 to develop a flagship property in Miami. From the beginning, the Foram team aimed to make 600 Brickell a singular property.

600 Brickell opened in the fall of 2011 in the heart of Miami’s financial district and has established many firsts for commercial office building development. It is the first high-rise office building in the state of Florida that is pre-certified LEED Platinum; only 13 buildings in the world have attained this certification. 600 Brickell is also the first Class-A office building directly connected to the NAP of the Americas and the first office building in US to be ISO 27001 compliant. 600 Brickell will revolutionize communication access and green development and serve as a model to exceed all expectations in technological and sustainable design.
