Sara Willard Email and Phone Number
I bring over 20 years of property experience leading acquisitions and development for both real estate equity investors and operators. With a proven track record of being able to simplify and solve deal complexities, resolve impasses, see potential in overlooked assets and formulate value-add repositioning strategies. My priority for the last ten years has been on circular design and the adaptive reuse of commercial-to-residential conversions. Uniquely adept at spotting patterns and potential in property that others cannot see.• Led acquisitions for $400M+ of value-add and opportunistic investments for US private equity firms, REITs, and New York City developers.• Originated $150M+ of acquisitions and redevelopment for family office investors. • Leverage my knowledge of both real estate capital markets and owner-operations to identify, articulate, and execute commercial + residential projects throughout major cities.• Bridge the diverse interests of owners, developers, investors, partners and sellers to structure deals that are workable for all stakeholders.• Conversions include a former office tower, multiple warehouses and defunct ecclesiastical properties into residential uses. • London-based as of September 2023.
