About The Towne Companies
Experience beyond the transaction.
I bring more than 30 years of commercial real estate experience, including acquisitions, sales, leasing and development. My work includes property due diligence, development agreements and public-private partnerships.
As a broker, developer and property owner, I understand the decisions involved in buying, selling, leasing and developing real estate. I start with your objectives, the property and the financial considerations to help identify practical next steps.
I’m also the author of How to Lose a Neighborhood: A Developer’s Perspective — By Design ↗
Selected experience
Broker, developer, owner and operator.
Hands-on experience on every side of a property, from institutional real estate to rebuilding a neighborhood landmark.
I bought, financed and rehabilitated a more than 100-year-old commercial building at 6224 16th Street, and I own and operate it today. The Towne Companies office is in the same building.
