Bio
With a background in corporate retail marketing, Cameron built a thriving career in commercial brokerage, where he now specializes in urban planning, leasing, and sales—particularly within the dynamic restaurant and retail sectors of the Bay Area. He helps clients navigate the complexities of commercial real estate with strategic guidance on zoning and planning, ABC and entertainment permitting, conditional use and formula retail compliance, as well as lease negotiation and property administration.
Clients value Cameron’s deep market knowledge and his ability to develop tailored strategies that maximize the value of retail assets. Whether advising landlords on leasing and disposition or supporting tenants with expansion strategy and site selection, he delivers practical, balanced solutions grounded in local expertise.
Before Kidder Mathews, Cameron was a Senior Vice President and the Bay Area Retail Lead at Avison Young for the past seven years. Prior to AY he served eight years as Director at Cushman & Wakefield. He is also a long-standing member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).
