COLUMBUS—Olshan Properties, a New York-based owner, developer and operator of commercial real estate, has just hired Kenneth J. Marshall as its new head of retail.
Based in Olshan Properties' Columbus office, Marshall will report directly to chief executive officer Andrea Olshan and work as a member of her executive team. In this newly-created role, he will focus on growing the firm's 10 million square foot retail portfolio through strategic acquisitions and oversee day-to-day operations.
“Ken is a well-known, best in class commercial real estate veteran who enjoys a peerless reputation,” says Olshan. “He comes to us with deep industry relationships and a track record of success in the development and operation of commercial assets based on a disciplined approach to investing, excellent leadership abilities and an exceptional foundation in real estate grounded in his academic focus in architecture.”
A 25-year veteran of commercial real estate, Marshall comes to Olshan most recently from retail REIT WP Glimcher where as vice president of development he oversaw its retail and office development projects, including a vertically integrated mixed-use lifestyle center and a $25 million mall renovation. Prior to that, he was executive vice president of Colonial Properties Trust's 11 million square foot commercial division, where he led asset management, leasing, operations, development and capital improvement spending.
“I've long been impressed by Olshan's rich legacy and superior portfolio of value-add retail and other properties, and I'm enthusiastic to get to work contributing to the future successes of this dynamic company,” says Marshall.
Marshall holds both a bachelor's and master's degree in architecture from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with supplemental study in real estate.
