Chris specializes in representing corporations with operations all throughout Los Angeles County and Southern California. His experience and track record with both tenants and landlords has enabled him to successfully complete a number of complex transactions for his clients.

The duo’s recent noteworthy transactions include Warner Music Group’s 257,000 square-foot lease at the Ford Factory and City National Bank’s nearly 242,000 square-foot deal at Two Cal Plaza. Chris was also instrumental in facilitating agreements for Nordstrom/HauteLook at The Bloc and for Adidas at The Row.
