Former EDENS executives launch Asana Partners

Columbia, S.C. -- Industry veterans Terry Brown, Jason Tompkins, and Sam Judd last month launched Asana Partners, a retail real estate investment company headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina.



Drawing from the team's deep operational and investment background in retail real estate, including more than $15 billion in transaction activity over the last 15 years, the company will acquire, own, and operate retail properties in dynamic markets across the United States.



"Success in this industry requires expertise in both retail real estate operations and capital allocation," commented Terry Brown, chairman & CEO.



Asana Partners will leverage a fully integrated operations-based approach to drive long-term value from retail properties in the fastest growing, most attractive markets in the country. The company's high performance team paired with a time-tested risk management framework are key components of this strategy.



The three founding partners collectively have over 60 years of industry experience, including more than a decade working together in executive roles at EDENS. Terry Brown led EDENS as chairman & CEO, and Jason Tompkins was CFO. Sam Judd, chief investment officer of Asana Partners, most recently was with Sears Holdings as VP – Real Estate.
