About Todd

Todd Lornell brings 36 years of experience in commercial real estate. His career began in Denver, Colorado, where he owned and operated a small chain of farm-to-table butcher shops, and it has since taken him across the country: shopping center development, regional mall leasing, and landlord and tenant representation for national and regional retailers.

He learned development at Kroh Brothers, a Kansas City developer of grocery-anchored shopping centers, staying with each project through to leasing. For the Hahn Companies he led leasing at enclosed regional malls along the eastern seaboard, and in Connecticut and New Hampshire he leased large and small box space for Bronson Hutensky and Woodmont Companies, including Webster Square in Nashua.

At Sullivan Hayes he moved to tenant representation. He was master broker on the eastern seaboard for PetSmart and GNC, ran the rollouts of Dollar Tree and Michaels across New England and upstate New York, and handled site selection for ten Home Depot stores, from assembling the land through town approvals and wetland issues.

He has owned Lornell Company, a commercial property services firm, since 2003, and through SRA he handled specialty leasing for Patriot Place in Foxborough and Evergreen Walk in Manchester, Connecticut. He later ran the commercial brokerage at Rubric Commercial Real Estate in Worcester as its president, before founding Lornell Real Estate.

He brings market knowledge, long-standing relationships with landlords and retailers, and creative thinking to difficult deals, and he keeps his clients' interests first.
