About Ross McCook
I lead real estate transactions and site selection for multi-market rollouts—everything from retail-facing showrooms to infrastructure-heavy service/operations sites. I’m strongest at the full cycle: building a pipeline, qualifying sites against real constraints (utilities/power readiness, permitting path, access/logistics, schedule risk), and then negotiating and closing clean deals with terms that actually protect execution.Over 18+ years, I’ve negotiated leases and PSAs, led land acquisition for single-tenant development, managed portfolio actions (renewals, restructures, dispositions), and partnered closely with Legal, Finance, Construction, and Operations to get projects delivered. Across my career I’ve executed over $900M+ in transactions and supported growth for brands including Lucid Motors, Caliber Collision, Fischer & Company, and Neiman Marcus.
