Kidder Mathews continues to expand its retail investment platform with the addition of Michael Morris as vice president in El Segundo. Morris specializes in net lease investments, advising clients on the acquisition and disposition of single and multi-tenant retail properties nationwide. He will partner with Vice President Nick Phillips, who has been with the firm since 2023.
Morris has closed over $350 million in transactions over the past decade — representing a diverse range of national retailers, including Chick-Fil-A, Starbucks, Chipotle, Wawa, Sherwin-Williams, Wendy’s, 7-Eleven, Taco Bell, O’Reilly Auto Parts, and First Citizens Bank. He works with institutional developers, investors, and private clients, providing strategic investment solutions across the country.
“My business is purposefully structured to create and nurture lasting personal relationships,” said Morris. “The Kidder Mathews platform allows me to deliver a boutique level of service backed by best-in-class marketing and support to seamlessly execute for our clients. I am beyond excited to partner with Nick Phillips to market and sell single and multi-tenant retail properties across the country.”
“Retail investment sales are still strong, and having a seasoned professional like Michael on board ensures we’re positioned to help clients navigate changing market dynamics,” said President of Brokerage Eric Paulsen. “His experience and collaborative approach make him a strong addition, and we’re looking forward to the impact he’ll make.”
Morris is an active member of the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and holds real estate licenses in both California and Virginia.
