Josh Shumsky joined The Econic Company in 2023 as an executive director and brings more than 11 years of commercial real estate brokerage experience to his role. Before joining Econic, Josh represented clients in lease and sale transactions at a large global CRE brokerage, where he was consistently recognized as a top producer. He has also worked in-house at retailers including Pacific Sunwear and Orchard Supply Hardware and has cultivated a deep understanding of what truly matters to retailers in site selection and expansion strategies. From the outset of his career, Josh has focused first not on the individual transaction, but on developing and solidifying long-term client relationships. He prides himself on the ability to evaluate a shopping center or client rollout on both a macro and micro level, asking the nuanced questions, from day one, required to effectively assist clients in achieving their goals and objectives. More than a brokerage relationship, this approach has made Josh an integrated partner working collaboratively with key decision makers and stakeholders across the retail real estate industry. Josh’s national client list includes Brixmor, Brookfield, Epic Real Estate Partners, Sand Hill Properties, Republic Urban Properties, Equity Residential, Tharaldson Hospitality and Dunkin. In addition to project leasing, his sales experience includes such lifestyle and grocery anchored projects as Bay Street Emeryville, @First Shopping Center, JCPenney at Shops at Tanforan, La Fiesta Square and Lafayette Mercantile in Lafayette, Calif., and Hamilton Marketplace in Novato, Calif. He is actively involved in leading industry organizations, and is currently the ICSC Membership Chair for Northern California.
