Anthony Rossi didn’t always imagine a career in retail.
“Upon graduation from college, I received an incredible offer for a retail general manager position and made the tough choice to pivot from my anticipated career path in broadcasting and journalism,” Rossi said. “I quickly became fascinated with the complexity of commercial real estate, shopping centers and the responsibilities of the operations teams. In 2012, I was given an opportunity to prove myself in the industry and never looked back.”
Over the next six years, Rossi gained industry knowledge while working in shopping center management for Westfield properties in San Jose, San Francisco and the Sacramento Valley. After four relocations, however, Rossi’s desire to find a home and set roots for his family became the top priority. That brought him to Las Vegas.
“I’m involved with every aspect of the business, from strategy to implementation,” Rossi said. “Operational needs change throughout the year based on the seasonality of it all, but proper budgeting and forecasting is crucial year-round. Day to day is unpredictable, which is one of the reasons it remains so enjoyable.”
Rossi is knowledgeable about an eclectic mix of assets, including coworking spaces, event venues and offices with retail operations in high-rise buildings and high-traffic urban areas. He has proven himself to be a leader in his industry on the West Coast.
Utilizing a motivational and passionate management style, Rossi also facilitates goodwill on site with community events and charitable initiatives. On a personal level, Rossi and his wife volunteer time and support local charities, with the Goodie Two Shoes Foundation high on their list.
