ATLANTA, GA – Chris Schoen (top right photo), former CEO of Barry Real Estate Companies, is teaming up with De Little (lower right photo) and the Greenstone Properties team to leverage their collective expertise to write a new real estate chapter for Greenstone. Schoen and Little will serve as co-principals of Greenstone. In addition to Schoen, Harvey Rudy (middle left photo), senior vice president of Barry Real Estate, has joined Greenstone’s real estate team.
Schoen and Rudy are two of the most seasoned Atlanta commercial real estate executives in the business. The news for Little, founder of Greenstone in 2005, is both humbling and exciting.
“I met Chris over 25 years ago and always hoped one day we would have the opportunity to work together,” said Little. “We certainly have competed enough against each other over the years.
“Chris is someone I admire and respect for his integrity and impeccable real estate knowledge and skills. His track record in the commercial real estate business speaks for itself. We are ready for this new chapter and plan on getting after it and will take a deal-by-deal approach on the opportunities we see. We are already off and running.”
Schoen was vice chairman and CEO of Barry Real Estate Companies for 15 years. Prior to Barry, Schoen was an executive at Portman Barry, where he established himself as one of the pre-eminent developers in the Southeast.
“The real estate business is moving in a new direction with a new platform,” said Schoen. “It is much more institutionally driven now. We are going to cater to this sphere of influence, broaden and deepen the right relationships and be full service in terms of what we can offer to our institutional contacts and others.
Greenstone was founded by De Little who left Pope & Land in 2005 as a senior vice president to start Greenstone in entrepreneurial fashion. Little is a graduate of Wake Forest University and holds an MBA from The Babcock School of Management at Wake Forest.
