COSTA MESA, CA—Sophisticated retail tenants today are technologically savvy, and they expect their landlords to be the same, Westar Associates' Kam Walton tells GlobeSt.com. Walton was recently named a partner at the real estate development and management company after joining in 2013 as the VP of leasing.
Walton oversees all aspects of leasing the company's retail portfolio, as well as the management of its in-house leasing team. With more than 14 years of experience in the commercial real estate industry, he is also involved in the planning and execution of the company's development and acquisition strategies. Prior to joining Westar, he helped lead Cushman & Wakefield's retail platform expand into the Orange County market, where he was the top-producing retail broker in that firm's Irvine office each year.
We spoke with Walton about his new role, trends in retail leasing and what today's retail tenants are demand of landlords.
