Retail Property Advisors (RPA) was born in 2011 from a partnership of three accomplished commercial real estate advisors, with Ken Stephens at the helm. An expert with decades of commercial real estate experience, Ken specializes in the retail sector and thoroughly understands the market and the trends shaping the industry. In 2013, RPA acquired Corporate Property Dispositions (CPD), a leading real estate advisory firm that worked in partnership with companies to divest their owned and leased surplus properties and to optimize the terms of their leaseholds. Subsequently, RPA and CPD, which focused on different aspects of the retail sector, existed as affiliates with the same top leadership.
