National Director | Large Format Retail
About Me
Leroy focuses on national retailers in the large format retail sector. He matches his clients’ new requirements with appropriate opportunities and helps in rationalising any sites surplus to their needs.
He takes a strategic role in advising private and institutional developers and landlords on project leasing options. He also actively helps Australian retailers identify strategic opportunities to launch their brands in the New Zealand market.
Leroy is committed to delivering results to his clients.
Since starting with the national retail team, Leroy has successfully completed a large number of leasing transactions in both bulk and convenience retail developments throughout the country. Leroy has also been involved in the sale of a number of retail properties and developments he has leased.
Successes include taking a leading role in leasing convenience retail projects in Auckland, Pukekohe, Tauranga, Hamilton, and New Plymouth, and large format retail centres in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Hastings, Napier, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, and Invercargill.
He has extensive knowledge of both convenience retail, and large format retail opportunities in most major centres throughout New Zealand.
