After working for national brokerage companies for his entire professional career, Craig opened Urban Works Real Estate in the last quarter of 2002. The sole goal was to provide superior, team oriented, retail brokerage services to his client’s without the corporate inflexibility that is so often the standard with most national real estate companies. Negotiating approximately twenty (20) new Starbucks Coffee store leases per year for the past 15 years and growing an urban brokerage identity took persistence and dedication.
Craig has been an advocate for Portland’s authentic, urban neighborhoods when such real estate was not considered as attractive as traditional suburban “cookie-cutter centers”. Negotiating complex lease issues and marketing mixed-use buildings in Portland’s evolving neighborhoods is his specialty. Exclusive brokerage assignments for the largest urban, mixed-use development projects (Hoyt Street Yards and South Waterfront) in Portland’s history and the daily management of Urban Works Real Estate requires much of his time since the formation of the company.Professional History:
