Zerega With Prudent Growth Builds Efficiency in Retail Lease Operations
Cordelia Zerega is the Acquisitions and Leasing Manager at Prudent Growth Partners. She joined the firm in 2020 as an Acquisitions Associate.
In her current position, Zerega oversees lease document operations across a retail portfolio of more than 60 properties. She is responsible for drafting, reviewing, and managing a wide range of leasing documents, including new tenant leases, amendments, renewals, termination agreements and surrender agreements
Zerega strengthened operations by implementing ClickUp as a company-wide project management system, improving task tracking, accountability, and cross-team coordination. She also led the adoption of Prismera, an AI-powered lease abstraction platform, uploading and organizing over 750 leases and creating a more scalable, efficient approach to lease review and portfolio analysis
Zerega serves as a trusted informal mentor and resource for newer Prudent Growth employees. She is a member of CREW and a graduate of CREW Charlotte’s Authentic Leadership program.
In the community, she teaches four ballet classes a week at a local dance studio and is involved with the Davidson Community Players, a local community theater group.
These are just a few reasons we chose Cordelia Zerega as one of Connect CRE’s Atlanta & Southeast Next Generation Award winners. Connect CRE’s annual Next Generation Awards recognize young leaders who will have a strong influence on the commercial real estate industry.
