Bio
Matthew Fainchtein is a Managing Director at JLL Retail Advisory in Los Angeles. He was formerly with Lockehouse Retail Group and prior to that was with Cushman & Wakefield (“C&W”), and RKF (now a division of Newmark). His first stint out of college was working in the entertainment industry as a literary agent at CAA and UTA before transitioning to real estate in 2006.
Matthew has played an instrumental role in transforming the retail landscape in many neighborhoods of Los Angeles. He has been known to pioneer new retail areas such as the Arts District, Abbot Kinney and Silver Lake as well as reinvigorating neighborhoods like Robertson & Beverly Boulevards in West Hollywood and North Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills.
In addition, Matthew represents an impressive list of landlord clients throughout Los Angeles.
He has also been instrumental in the sale of trophy properties. Most recently he sold Studio City Place (110,000 sf shopping center) for $42 million. In 2022 he was responsible for the sale of 2.83 acres of unentitled land in Marina Del Rey for a record price of $37 million ($300.00 psf).
Currently Matthew has secured leases with Sushi Samba's rooftop flagship in West Hollywood, and Todd Snyder on Abbot Kinney and at The Grove. He has also been instrumental in revitalizing the 3rd street Promenade most recently with his lease to Raising Cane's. Over the last few years, he has secured leases for Erewhon and Sweetgreens in the Beverly Hills “Golden Triangle” as well as Tesla and Blue Bottle in Malibu and Planta in Marina Del Rey along with multiple locations for Sugarfish and Hot 8 Yoga.
His success is attributed to his consistent collaborations with some of LA’s largest property owners and developers in helping them develop and execute their vision with success.
