Bio
Deborah Foehr, nee Jellinek, principal of Star Commercial Real Estate, LLC has been in the industry since 1977. Starting her career in Greenwich, CT working for a retail developer, Deborah's first job covered everything from construction supervision and lease negotiations to painting stores to meet delivery deadlines. (What an introduction to retail!) Having specialized in land and building sales in the early 80's for a local Westport realtor, life changed after the 1986 tax law changes when most investors stopped buying tax shelters. Deborah became specifically interested in the retail industry after getting her feet wet with deals in downtown Westport, CT such as Talbot's, Eddie Bauer and Silver Ribbon. A bit of a rebel, Deborah hated wearing suits and other accoutrements required of an office leasing broker and found retailers refreshing and diverse. Each store was different, not just walls, windows and doors. After working 10 years for one firm, Deborah started CDC Commercial Real Estate with a partner in 1994. From a 500SF office, she has created the premier Retail Real Estate firm in Fairfield County. When the partnership ended in 2000, CDC became Star Commercial Real Estate, LLC.
