Former ICSC exec Rudy Milian launches Woodcliff Realty Advisors

Rudolph E. Milian, former senior staff VP of the International Council of Shopping Centers and a leading retail real estate development executive, has launched Woodcliff Realty Advisors LLC, a full-service management consultancy that brings together an elite group of retail and real estate professionals and experts to serve shopping center companies, retailers, commercial real estate organizations, communities and investors worldwide.



The services provided include development, project management and tenant coordination, operations, leasing, finance, research, lease accounting, data verification, analytics technology, marketing and public relations, all with the goal of helping clients maximize the value of their projects.



“To succeed today, retail and real estate companies operate with as lean and efficient an organization as possible. But there are occasions when an outside point of view or additional advice is needed to advance to the next level,” said Milian, president and CEO. “Whether clients are looking to do a major acquisition, complete the re-development of a project, create a business plan or issue a press release, they can benefit from the decades of experience and expertise of some of the most forward-thinking and successful experts in the industry.”



In his nearly 20 years with the ICSC, most recently as senior VP, director of industry best practices and publisher, Milian oversaw key strategic areas involving the most successful methods and techniques that ICSC members implement in their businesses.



Previously, he was a VP of Youngstown, Ohio-based DeBartolo Realty Corp., a predecessor of Simon Property Group, where he held corporate-level responsibilities in property management, asset management, real estate tax administration and local leasing for a multimillion-square-foot portfolio. He is the author of “The Retail Green Agenda” and “Green Tactics from Retailers and Shopping Centers.”



“What makes Woodcliff different from other consultancies is that so many leaders in retail real estate are offering their expertise in a coordinated manner,” Milian said. “Our unique structure allows our clients literally to have an all-star team at their disposal so they can focus on what they do best: running and growing their companies.”



Depending on the client’s needs, Woodcliff will call upon appropriate affiliated consultants who will work together to achieve goals. To see the initial line-up of consultants, click here.
