“As an endurance athlete and longtime fundraiser for cancer research I have a unique perspective. Running multi-day races including some of the most difficult in the world, I have transferred that discipline, that no-quit attitude, resilience and creativity into my work. The retail real estate landscape can often be a difficult path to navigate effectively and efficiently. Like running 135 miles through the Mojave Desert in July, or 200 miles around Central Park over a weekend, in retail you need to be tough, creative and able to recalibrate when a deal does not go as planned. Nothing ever goes as planned, and that is when I thrive.”
A testament to his creativity and vision, Eric is a four-time recipient of the Real Estate Board of New York’s Retail Deal of the Year Award: Avra Estiatorio at 1271 Avenue of the Americas (2020); Footlocker at 1460 Broadway (2015); Gucci at 725 Fifth Avenue (2006); and Haier America at 1356 Broadway (2001).
