Her departure comes with a larger reorganization of the firm’s executive team.
Zachary Bornstein, who previously served as senior managing director of capital markets and asset management for the firm, has been named the company’s president. He will be the highest-ranking executive at the firm.
And Michael Odell, who has also served as senior managing director of capital markets, will become executive managing director, head of investments and capital markets.
“I know I leave the company in extremely strong hands,” Olshan said in a statement. “Our family and the board have total confidence in Zach, Michael and the entire executive team, and we know that under their day-to-day leadership, the company will continue to grow and prosper.”
Seritage, headquartered at 500 Fifth Avenue, has 158 wholly-owned properties and 25 unconsolidated properties totaling about 28.5 million square feet across 44 states and Puerto Rico. It was formed with the acquisition of a retail portfolio from Sears in 2015.
