Since joining the Ackerman Retail team in 2017, one of the primary goals of executive vice president Brian Lefkoff has been to create a first-class tenant representation platform and growing portfolio of national, regional and local tenants. As the leader of Ackerman Retail’s Tenant Representation group, he has exceeded the company’s goals, adding many prominent clients to the portfolio and building a well-recognized platform.

This expansion of Ackerman Retail’s tenant representation roster has yielded several major lease signings for Brian in the past year. It also led to Brian’s recent selection as Ackerman’s Broker of the Month for December.

Brian’s major lease signings include a 30,000-square-foot transaction on behalf of Goodwill of North Georgia at Northridge shopping center in Sandy Springs, Ga. The new retail location for Goodwill is expected to open soon.

Ackerman Retail is Goodwill’s exclusive representative in North Georgia for the retailer’s store and career center expansion across a region that includes more than 60 stores in 45 counties.

Brian also recently represented Painted Tree Marketplace in a 30,000-square-foot lease in Buford, Ga. This marks Painted Tree’s first store in Georgia, which is now open at Marketplace at Millcreek, where it joins national retailers such as Burlington, Costco, DSW, Marshalls and Ross.

Painted Tree selected Ackerman Retail as its exclusive representative for its expansion in Atlanta and across the Southeast U.S.
