SELECT TRANSACTION HIGHLIGHTS

▶ Class A Office Lease (220,000 SF, Pasadena): Represented landlord in repositioning a challenged office tower with a 50% vacancy rate. Overcame negative market perception to boost occupancy to 80% in a highly competitive environment, securing leases significantly above market expectations.

▶ Industrial Lease (70,000 SF): Relocated tenant during the COVID-19 pandemic after unethical landlord actions forced a move. Negotiated a new lease at a 40% below-market rate, countering inflated industrial demand, and ensured client’s operational continuity against a prominent landlord.

▶ Retail & Medical Office Portfolio Management ($38M): Managed and leased a 21,000 SF retail center for a family trust, maintaining over 90% occupancy for a decade. Facilitated a strategic transition to medical office, completing 20,000 SF of leasing in two years—well above market averages—while sustaining competitive advantages for a legacy manufacturing business in challenging California markets.
