Howard Gerelick, Vice President, Real Estate
With more than 40 years of experience in developing shopping centers Howard has established a successful reputation laden with trust, integrity, and dexterity. Applying his experience as a shopping center developer and former corporate real estate executive, Howard plans to start his own consulting firm.
After nearly 22 years, Howard retired from Safeway as the Vice President of Real Estate where he was responsible for all the capital spending for new and remodeled stores for the Denver, Phoenix , and Texas Divisions which encompassed a geographic area of Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Howard was responsible for over 60% of the stores in the Denver and Phoenix Divisions and after taking over the Texas Division, Howard was successful in developing new stores there after a 7 year period of inactivity.
Howard introduced the concept of self developing new store sites with Safeway acting as its own developer buying the entire shopping center site, obtaining the necessary entitlements and selling off the adjacent surplus land to other developers or end users netting the company a net profit of nearly $100,000,000.
Howard is experienced in all aspects of developing shopping centers including market research, site selection, entitlements, negotiating leases, ECR, development agreements, and TIF agreements.
Prior to joining Safeway, Howard was a shopping center developer and developed shopping centers anchored by Walmart, King Soopers, City Markets, Longs Drugs, and Albertson's. Howard also held corporate real estate and market research positions with Albertsons and King Soopers.
Howard is presently serving as the co chairman of the Food Desert Task Force for the City of Denver. He has also served on a planning task force for the city of Centennial and on the zoning task force for the city of Denver. He also formed a task force responsible for getting changes to the highway access codes for Colorado.
Howard has spoken at Boise State, Denver University, and the University of Colorado on site location research as well as participating on numerous ICSC panels and other panels at seminars sponsored by the Colorado Real Estate Journal.
