Ryan Companies US, Inc. recently promoted Tony Barranco to vice president of development. His focus is on retail and mixed-use properties nationwide with a particular emphasis on projects in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
In his role as vice president, Barranco will lead project teams through all aspects of the development process including site selection and acquisition, constraint analysis and due diligence, municipal and approvals, design and construction coordination and lease or sale negotiation.
Since joining Ryan in 2005, Barranco has been part of such notable projects as 222 Hennepin, a downtown Minneapolis mixed-use redevelopment with 286 luxury apartments and a Whole Foods Market; and Underwood Crossing, a shopping center anchored by Target and Trader Joes in Brookfield, Wis.
“I really enjoy the complexity and challenge of urban infill, redevelopment projects,” said Barranco. “I get to use a wide range of skills – from collaborating with neighborhood groups to handling the intricacies of mixed-use urban development. It’s rewarding to bring stakeholders together toward a mutual goal.”
