Bio
Jonathan Schley’s career spans multiple sectors within the commercial real estate industry, with a passionate focus on the retail and hospitality industries—both as an advisor and as an investor-owner.
In 2017, Jonathan joined CBRE's Retail Advisory and Transaction Services Group, expanding their practice to include a portfolio of brands at all stages of growth and with a specific expertise in international cross-border expansion. The most represented brand categories include luxury retail, beauty, and hospitality, with clients such as Audemars Piguet, Byredo, Khaite, the L'Oréal portfolio of brands and the Puig portfolio of brands.
Before joining CBRE, Jonathan had his own firm, Schley Inc., which was similarly focused on strategic expansion initiatives for retail brands and hospitality companies. Concurrently, from 2014-2017 Jonathan served as President of Real Estate Operations for Open Listings Co., which was subsequently acquired by OpenDoor in 2018 following its participation in Y Combinator (YC W15) and Series A funding.
Prior to this role, Jonathan was first an Acquisitions and Development Associate at Tungsten Partners in New York before being promoted to Director of Retail Development where he led retail partnership strategy within and around Ace Hotel projects globally.
Jonathan is based between Los Angeles, New York City and London. He earned his B.A. in Political Science, with a focus on International Relations and Comparative Politics from Columbia University.
