A&G Realty appoints Weinstein as senior advisor

A&G Realty Partners, a leading commercial real estate, advisory and investment group, today revealed that it is expanding its expertise with the appointment of Billy Weinstein as senior advisor. Reporting directly to co-presidents Andy Graiser and Emilio Amendola, Weinstein will be responsible for structuring creative real estate solutions for retailers in challenged situations. With more than 25 years of expertise in the distressed marketplace, Weinstein was formerly chief executive officer of Comp USA, where he was widely accredited for the Company's successful reorganization and sale. Throughout his career, Weinstein has orchestrated in excess of $20 billion of transactions, many of which were complex and multi-dimensional in nature. "From continued consolidation to a lack of new real estate developments, the environment has significantly changed," said Andy Graiser. "As a result, retailers need to develop more creative strategies, and there is no one better than Billy at evaluating the situations and identifying alternate ways beyond real estate to achieve growth or successful corporate consolidations." Weinstein was previously a founding partner of The Ozer Group, a retail consulting and asset disposition firm, which was acquired by Gordon Brothers. Weinstein later became chief investment officer of Gordon Brothers, where he oversaw investment strategies across all divisions world-wide. Most recently he served as managing director of Tiger Group, LLC, advising on various European deals.
