Amy Sands Joins RPT Realty as Head of Investments

RPT Realty has appointed Amy Sands as EVP, head of investments, effective May 8, 2023. She’ll be based in the company’s New York office,   

Sands’ hiring represents a consolidation of RPT Realty’s investment activities under one team that will source acquisitions for RPT’s wholly owned portfolio, and for its grocery-anchored joint venture platform and retail net lease joint venture platform. She’ll also be responsible for disposition activities. 

With more than 20 years’ industry experience, Sands most recently served as senior managing director, co-head of the Chicago office for JLL Capital Markets.
