Retail Brokerage Econic Adds High-Profile Hires

Retail brokerage The Econic Company, launched two years ago amid the global pandemic by retail veteran James Chung, has expanded its presence in the San Francisco Bay Area with the addition of several high-profile hires.  

Brokers Megan McArthur, Sean O’Carroll, Josh Shumsky and Matt Sweeney joined the firm from Newmark and Kyle Goni joins from Lockhouse. Broker Nicole Key also joined the firm from Cushman & Wakefield and has opened the firm’s Central Valley office in Stockton.  

“I am thrilled to welcome these incredible brokers – each with a distinctive approach to retail leasing and investment, with a depth of experience I frankly feel is unparalleled in our industry – to our team,” said Chung.  “I am so confident in the counsel they’ll provide to our clients and know they’ll seamlessly build on our legacy of delivering consistency, creativity, and transparency to retailers and property owners.”
