Testimonials

“I had the pleasure of working with Larry for several years when we both served as top executives at Simon Premium Outlets. He is one of the hardest working people I know, and was always well respected by the team which he led, fellow senior management and the tenant community. He is a creative deal maker and technically as sound as they come. Most importantly, he is appreciated for his honest and straight-forward approach”

—Stephen Yalof | CEO, Tanger Outlets

“Larry is a rare talent in retail real estate. He quickly focuses in on the key elements to close deal without getting distracted on insignificant points of little concern to either party’s long term success.  He is committed to finding creative solutions where others may succumb to “deal fatigue”.  Larry’s integrity and knowledge of development and leasing are beyond reproach. He is the consummate professional.”

—Thomas Coen | VP/ Deputy General Counsel, Puma North America

“Larry and I worked together for 18 years at Simon Property Group. He is a consummate professional who blends his intelligence, market awareness and financial acumen with a calm and humorous demeanor. He puts people at ease by approaching issues with a well thought out position while being collaborative at the same time. Larry and I always worked cooperatively to find the best paths, even when our goals were inconsistent. He was my partner in many ways, and is still one of my career favorites.”

— Danielle DeVita | Executive VP Real Estate and Development, Urban Edge Properties

“Larry was at SPG when I was at CONVERSE, partnering to build up the store fleet from zero locations to 70 stores in the mid-2000’s, then again when we rebuilt the COLE HAAN store fleet over the past 10 years. He has high industry knowledge, he’s a pragmatic thinker, and knows how to get results for all parties.  It’s based on a foundation of integrity and work ethic.”

—Raymond Etzo | Vice President, North America Retail, COLE HAAN

He is a trustworthy and straight forward business professional and would be a valuable asset to anyone seeking his guidance."
