Smith Forms George Urban Properties in Newport Beach
G. Ryan Smith has left JLL and formed George Urban Properties. The Newport Beach, CA-based firm will focus on acquiring and operating office, retail, and mixed-use properties, located in urban in-fill locations throughout Southern California.
Smith says, “Combined with my 25 years of real estate experience as an investment sales professional and a principal, I have formed a strategic alliance with a local property management company (A Street Partners), to create a truly unique operating and management platform.”
Smith moves back to the principal side of commercial real estate, after spending the past more than three years as an EVP at JLL. He also served at a principal at Peregrine Realty Partners for nearly seven years, and earlier in his career he spent more than 4-1/2 years at Buchanan Street Partners.
