Pittsburgh Retail Market Report | Q4 2022

I am an Associate at Colliers International in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I specialize in retail leasing, sales and tenant representation in Western Pennsylvania and surrounding area.  I am responsible for providing in-depth, strategic consulting for clients to generate valuable solutions to suit their real estate needs.  I am dedicated to building client relationships and providing the highest quality of service to maximize value and client satisfaction.

I began my commercial real estate career in 1997 after graduating from Gettysburg College with a BA in history.  Initially I concentrated on corporate services work for national tenants.  Since that time I have worked on behalf of numerous fortune 1000 organizations both on the landlord and tenant side and have closed some of the largest transactions in western Pennsylvania.

I  began working on retail projects in 2005 with the ground up development of a 30,000 sf retail center.  Since that time I have focused on retail assignments, representing landlords and tenants in the development and leasing of retail projects throughout western Pennsylvania, West Virginia and south eastern Ohio.  I have worked on a number of ground up retail developments, as well as the leasing of traditional retail strip centers and urban retail projects.  I've represented a number of retail tenants in their location searches, including Wahlburgers, Banfield Pet Hospital, Hooters, Dollar General, Quest Diagnostics, Edward Jones, Emiliano's and many others.  I have been recognized as a retail power broker in the Western Pennsylvania region by Costar and have been represented on the Pittsburgh Business Times largest transactions list a number of times.

I have more than 30 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry.  As a Principal at Colliers International | Pittsburgh I am responsible for a full range of real estate services.  Prior to joining Colliers International | Pittsburgh, I was a Principal at NAI Pittsburgh Commerical for more than 5 years where I was reponsible for a full range of real estate services for office, retail, industrial and tenant representation.  I began my career as a member of the brokerage staff of Cushman & Wakefield.  I have worked on commercial deals in 15 states and in South Africa.  

Additionally, I have  worked in development with Carnegie Properties, where I managed investment and leasing for properties in Pittsburgh, Orlando, and Chicago. 

I was a former  Chairman of FamilyLinks Board of Directors, a former Animal Friends Board Member, a former Parent & Child Guidance Center Board Member, a former Member of the Board of Directors of Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and a former Board Member of the Rivers Club.
