ABOUT COMMERCIAL AGENT Pat OHara

Pats primary focus is landlord representation, development, and tenant representation within retail services. Pat has over 27 years of experience in the development and leasing of shopping centers ranging from neighborhood centers to power and lifestyle centers. He is a firm believer there is a butt for every seat which translates to no matter how challenging a center, space, or building may be, there are buyers and tenants that are the right fit for those centers and spaces. Pats expertise is finding the right fit for both the Landlords and Tenants he represents to maximize their ROI.

Pat began his real estate career in 1992 with Melvin Simon & Associates which became Simon Property Group (SPG) in 1993. He started in SPGs Financial Operations Group and, in 1999, joined the CommunityLifestyle Center Group to lease its Indiana portfolio, along with multiple retail centers outside of the state. During his time at SPG, Pats leased new developments, redevelopment, and improved core assets. New developments included Clay Terrace (Carmel, Indiana), Palms Crossing (McAllen, Texas), and Fairfield Town Center (Houston, Texas). Redevelopments included Royal Eagle Plaza (Coral Spring, Florida), Village Park Plaza (Westfield, Indiana), and Keystone Shoppes (Indianapolis). Pat was promoted to Regional Vice President in 2014. The CommunityLifestyle Center Group was part of SPGs spinoff to Washington Prime Group (WPG) in the same year. In 2016, Pat joined Sandor Development where he was a Senior Leasing Representative and Director of Leasing. Pat became a proud member of the Bradley RESOURCE team in September 2018.

Over his career in real estate, Pat has seen the evolution of retail real estate and has adapted. He believes every shopping center should be a lifestyle center reflecting the needs and wants of the surrounding community. While at SPG and WPG, he was responsible for greater than 2.3 million square feet of transactions and maintained occupancies at greater than 95. Pats goal is not to simply fill space, but to represent the Landlord and lease space to Tenants with good business plans and the wherewithal to accomplish them.
