Katherine Carlton partners with landlords and retailers to create merchandising, leasing, and expansion strategies that shape thoughtful retail destinations. Her experience spans urban mixed-use projects, lifestyle centers, and high-growth suburban developments, helping clients navigate complex real estate strategies from concept through execution.

She is currently involved in the leasing of several thoughtfully positioned retail developments, working alongside ownership teams to merchandise and position destinations such as Twin Oaks and Sixth & Walsh in Austin, TX, The Plaza at Spring Creek in Plano, TX, and Monterey Village in Dublin, Ohio. Her past project experience includes Stream’s QUAD redevelopment, QIP’s Design District portfolio, and the repositioning of West Village in Dallas, TX.
