"After being our in‐house Leasing Director for three years, Aaron Stephenson announced in 2009 that he was starting his own firm, Retail Street Advisors. Although an upstart company, I requested his continued involvement with our retail leasing efforts. Aaron and his team during difficult economic times were able to reach a 98% occupancy level, which in itself is a statement of their ability to deliver results." -Fehmi Karahan, CEO, The Karahan Companies
