Atlanta (May 2024) - GlobeSt.com has named Justin Barry one of its 2024 Influencers in Retail Real Estate.
Retail has been an interesting space for the commercial real estate sector in recent months; consumers have shown signs of slowing purchasing in response to higher prices. At the same time, the fundamentals in the space have never been stronger for owners and landlords amid a scarcity of space and strong demand, which is particularly true given that so little retail space is set to be delivered to market in the next 12 to 18 months. GlobeSt.com highlights Barry's instrumental role assisting clients in consolidating the once-fragmented car wash industry by helping operators and institutional equity access recurring revenue and/or stable leasing cash flows. Barry has used his 15 years of industry experience to creatively structure deals, streamline legal processes, and identify the right investors or help finance transactions. Since entering the competitive car wash space in 2020, Barry and his team have closed more than 150 deals, building national players while working with sellers, buyers, equity landlords, and lenders.
While car wash acquisition and representation is an important part of Barry's practice, he and his team are involved in all areas of real estate transactions. He represents landlords and tenants in the retail, office, industrial, and hospitality space and assists clients with a wide range of real estate finance and development work.
