What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? Based in Manhattan, I identify and analyze property acquisition opportunities, specifically grocery-anchored shopping centers throughout the Southeast and Colorado, as well as apartment buildings and unsold apartment packages in condo or co-op buildings in New York City. I supervise acquisitions through closing and manage day-to-day oversight of our Atlanta portfolio. We plan to grow our retail portfolio to 1.5 million s/f in Atlanta and continue to seek penetration into select markets. In New York, our goal is to continue to find well placed rental apartment buildings that would suit conversion to condo or co-op with a long-term investment outlook.
