A respected industry leader with more than 24 years of high-profile experience in retail development and leasing, Claudia Sagan brings much more than deep industry acumen to the table. With the creation of her own venture, Ms. Sagan has built an entire enterprise upon the principles and ideals that she holds most dear: rigorous attention to detail, unparalleled customer service, and an unwavering commitment to building lasting relationships.

The result is Claudia Sagan, Inc. - a boutique retail real estate consulting firm that provides both retailers and developers with the keen insights they need to effectively plan successful expansions and developments throughout the United States.

Claudia Sagan is one of the few experts in the shopping center industry whose experience spans both sides of the table. She understands the fundamentals and challenges of business from the perspective of both a retailer and a developer. Her extensive tenure in development, leasing and project merchandising were honed at The Equity Group and Equity Group Investments - Sam Zell's retail development, management and leasing division.

As a retailer, Claudia historically led the real estate departments for such national retailers as Talbots, AnnTaylor, Williams-Sonoma, and related brands including AnnTaylor Loft, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home. She has parlayed this savvy into an unparalleled ability to select strategic locations designed to maximize each client's performance.
