Brandon has over twenty-eight years of experience in the commercial real estate industry focusing on commercial development, leasing, and retail site selection. Since joining Hall Equities Group in 2004, Brandon’s primary responsibility has been identifying and executing new business opportunities, including prospective development and leasing opportunities, re-positioning of existing assets, and marketing strategy for the commercial portfolio. He has also been responsible for the overall supervision and management of the leasing responsibilities for the company’s commercial real estate portfolio, which consists of retail, office, and industrial properties.

In 2015, Brandon shifted from his role in traditional commercial leasing and development to focus on a new sports related development project, Shadelands SportsMall, and a new soccer training concept, COPA Soccer Training Center. In the following years both concepts have grown into affiliated, but separate, business ventures leading to the formation of new companies COPA Innovation Laboratories and Global SportsMall Realty. At COPA Innovation Laboratories, Brandon has participated in the birth of an emerging diversified sports and technology business with multiple business lines which synergistically reinforce each other. The different business lines include COPA Business Systems, COPA Tech, COPA Productions and COPA Soccer Training Center. In addition to roles in the formation of the COPA businesses, Brandon has been responsible for negotiating and securing partnership, distribution, and collaboration agreements with sports technology companies in Germany, Austria and England.

Going forward, Brandon’s focus is to spearhead development of new SportsMall projects consistent with the real estate objectives of Global SportsMall Realty. Building off the success of the first SportsMall project, Shadelands SportsMall in Walnut Creek, CA, Global SportsMall Realty has been formed to identify and build new SportsMall projects in major markets across the United States through a strategic platform focusing on re-use of existing vacant retail space in major shopping malls or building from the ground up in certain markets. The projects are anticipated to range in size from 200,000 – 300,000 square feet with 10-15 different tenants in each project, with each being anchored by affiliate COPA Soccer Training Center.
