Advisory

Strategy backed by 30 years of placemaking.

Experience That Goes Beyond the Transaction

Owners bring John in to decide what a property should become: which tenants, which market, which moves will hold value. Brands bring him in to decide where to grow and how fast. Either way, the advice comes from someone who has done the deals himself.
