Sands Investment Group’s Rowan Structures Deals to Fuel Business Expansion
Liam Rowan is an Investment Sales Advisor in the Atlanta office of Sands Investment Group. He handles retail investment sales, focusing on automotive and shopping center deals.
Much of his work involves helping operators grow, whether that involves structuring sale-leasebacks to free up capital, helping owners exit properties or matching buyers with opportunities that fit what they’re looking for.
Notable deals included the $24 million sale of the River Exchange shopping center near Atlanta and a sale-leaseback transaction to support the growth of a Harley-Davidson operator from 16 to 25 locations.
He also helped build and scale his team’s operations as transaction volume increased.
Rowan’s community involvement includes support of the Fight Against Suicide. This fundraising organization travels to schools across the Southeast to raise awareness and support for mental health and suicide prevention initiatives.
Rowan has been named Sands Investment’s Rookie of the Year. He’s also been named Top Producer in the Atlanta Office and was selected for the SIG Circle of Excellence in 2025.
These are just a few reasons we chose Liam Rowan 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.
