Background

About Marci Carl

I specialize in mall and tenant leasing for public REITs, private corporations, and boutique urban developers. As the Senior Director of Real Estate at Crate & Barrel, I oversee a diverse portfolio of over 180 leases, driving significant profitability and operational efficiencies through strategic insights and effective leasing strategies. My career highlights include managing large-scale projects from inception to completion, such as the $150 million Addison Park on Clark development adjacent to Wrigley Field and the $260 million mixed-use development in Lincoln Park - underscoring my capability to leverage market insights, consumer trends, and demographic analyses to optimize leasing operations and merchandising plans. I pride myself on my ability to lead teams, manage complex negotiations, and forge collaborative partnerships with C-level executives, landlords, and developers. Having achieved a 20% increase in national capacity and $6 million in savings over three years at Crate & Barrel, I am adept at navigating the challenges and opportunities of the real estate industry. In my spare time, I enjoy mentoring young women in real estate at Chicagoland high schools and the University of Wisconsin. I also like traveling, playing paddle tennis, and spending time with my family.
