PITTSBURGH
In 2010, Jeff McElhinny returned home from his time in Charlotte and opened Atlantic’s Pittsburgh office. Initially focused on national retail rollouts, the office has since grown to handle the local expansions of dozens of retailers in Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Both Jeff and his partner, Garrick Hagins, spent a combined 14 years working at Dick’s Sporting Goods through some of that company’s most aggressive growth. That direct experience gave them a perspective which is unique to the brokerage business and helps our Charlotte team to better advise their clients. After Jeff’s passing in April 2020, Garrick continues to realize their vision to provide the service that they know they would have wanted as retail real estate managers.
