Our History

Four decades of shaping where people shop.

Our principals came up through Westfield, Taubman, O'Connor, Turnberry and Leonard L. Farber, leasing and redeveloping some of the country's best-known regional centers. In 2008 they founded Collarmele Partners to do that work on their own account.

Since then the firm has repositioned super-regional centers alongside KKR and Pacific Retail Capital Partners, built a 1.1 million square foot center in Panama City, delivered build-to-suits for Signet Jewelers and a medical tower in Aventura, and turned to ground-up, essential-goods retail in the Southeast.
