SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lockehouse Retail Group, a premier full-service commercial real estate firm, announced today that renowned retail analyst and executive Garrick Brown has joined the firm as Chief Operating Officer and Director of Advisory Services.
“As Lockehouse continues its aggressive growth strategy in the Western U.S., Garrick will play an essential role in continuing that momentum,” Lockehouse Retail Group President Steve Cutter said. “Garrick’s profound understanding of the retail environment and his vast knowledge of the overall real estate industry is a huge benefit to our current and future clients.”
Brown has held several prominent, senior roles with global commercial real estate firms. He is considered one of the nation’s leading real estate analysts, a frequent interview subject for media outlets, and a regular speaker at industry events, including NAIOP, ICSC, and the Urban Land Institute.
