As a founding partner of Catalyst, Chris brings 16+ years of industry experience to the firm, having represented some of the nation’s top retail and restaurant tenants, including: Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Plato’s Closet, Massage Envy, Play It Again Sports, Cold Stone Creamery, Koko FitClub, Big O Tire, Once Upon A Child, Archiver’s, The Joint Chiropractic & Giordano’s Famous Stuffed Pizza. Chris and his team work with their clients to oversee all phases of the real estate process – from strategic market planning and site selection, to aggressive LOI and lease negotiation. Chris’s comprehensive knowledge of the retail marketplace, combined with his strong relationships with local, regional and national landlords and brokers, enables him to consistently secure the best possible locations at “better than market” terms for his tenants and operate for many of his clients as their full-service outsourced real estate solution. Chris began his commercial real estate career in early 2001 at MAS, Inc., a boutique brokerage specializing in retail and restaurant Tenant Representation. In late 2005, he and the company’s other top producer, Mike Leonard, left to launch Catalyst Commercial Group. Throughout his career, Chris has handled 1,000+ Tenant-specific retail lease and purchase transactions, with an aggregate value of over $500 million. Show less
