Select Leasing Accomplishments

Milford Station - 2016

Summary - identified underutilized 7.5 acre parcel along route 1 in Milford and coupled the landowner with a client (developer). Worked with developer to create best possible site plan which ended up being a total of 58,000 SF that includes a multi-tenanted 50,000 SF building and two 4,000 SF stand alone pads. I developed and implemented a pre-leasing program that generated leases for all but the junior box space before even breaking ground. Also aided in negotiating with adjacent property owner and Chase bank to create cross access which ultimately lead to development gaining signalized access/egress.

Tenants (original) - REI, Verizon, Panera Bread, Pet Valu, Sleep Number & Salons by JC.

Cromwell Square (Lease Upgrade Program) - 2017

Summary - instrumental in upgrading this 226,000 SF value add asset by working with owner to implement a lease upgrade program. Recommended a basic center revitalization which included a facade renovation, parking lot repaving and lighting upgrade. With vacancy being the primary issue, the upgrades were meant to increase leasing activity, starting with backfilling the former Kmart box. After quickly securing a lease with Shop Rite (60,000 SF), junior box and small shop activity increased and 7 years later the vacancy sits at only 5%.

Notable Tenants Added - Shop Rite, Marshalls, Burlington Coat, Five Below, Texas Roadhouse & Cortiva Institute (15,000 SF behind Shop Rite/Marshalls due to an abundance of depth from former Kmart box).

Southbury Plaza (Kmart Redevelopment) - 2019

Summary - Kmart vacated their 120,000 SF, multi-floor (60/60) box and teamed up with owner/client to strategize on how best to redevelop and ultimately reposition the space. Consulted on key decisions regarding value engineering the initial work and negotiation of the new junior box leases on the plaza level. Recommended that the lower 60,000 SF was positioned for medical and currently negotiating a 45,000 SF medical deal.

Tenants Added - Old Navy, Ulta, Michaels
