HOUSTON-As part of a move toward a retail development focus, Hartman Management, LLC has hired long-time retail development and leasing expert Rom Michels as vice president of retail leasing.

Backed by three decades of experience in retail shopping center leasing and redevelopment for companies such as Grubb & Ellis, Weingarten Realty Trust, CenterAmerica Property Trust, Jerry J. Moore Investments and May Department Stores, Michels’ main responsibility will be to oversee a recently formed retail development group at Hartman. “He brings a multifaceted approach to the company, not only in terms of experience and background, but with large tenants as well,” says Valarie King, Hartman’s COO. “We’re looking for him to become a leader in helping to build and develop those relationships with large tenants.”

Michels, an independent developer of shopping centers before moving to Hartman, notes that he wanted to become more involved with tenants, which is why he accepted the position. “I was also interested in taking a strong management role with a good shopping center developer,” he tells GlobeSt.com.
