NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ—Levin Management has named Paul Ruane of Woodbridge, NJ vice president of property management. The North Plainfield-based organization maintains a diverse 95-property, 13 million-square-foot shopping center portfolio primarily centered in the Northeast.
“Paul is an accomplished and well-respected industry professional, who brings a wealth of practical expertise to this key management role,” says Robert Carson, Levin's executive vice-president. “As we continue to grow our retail portfolio, his leadership and solid skills in direct property management and tenant relations will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to our property management team.”
Ruane brings 35 years of diverse commercial property management experience to his new position, most recently as vice president of property management for WP Realty. At Levin, he is ensuring the delivery of the firm's best-in-class service standards at each of its managed retail properties. This includes continually working toward improving operational and financial controls by promoting energy reduction, resource conservation and expense management. Ruane also oversees the Levin property management team's training and professional development, which is focused on providing superior procedures, direction and support for clients and tenants.
“I am very happy to be joining Levin Management – a firm well known throughout the commercial real estate industry for its quality of service and professionalism,” says Ruane. “I am looking forward to contributing to the company's continued growth and success.”
Before joining WP Realty in 2006, Ruane worked with The Rubenstein Company, which was acquired by Brandywine Realty Trust. There, he successfully commissioned more than 2 million square feet of new corporate headquarters space, and retro-commissioned more than 1.5 million square feet of corporate headquarters and multi-tenanted office buildings.
Ruane is a member of the International Council of Shopping Centers and The Building Owners and Managers Association of Philadelphia, where he earned the Real Property Administrator designation. He chaired the Philadelphia Suburban Committee in 2004 and 2005, and served on the Board of Directors in Philadelphia between 1990 and 1993, and again from 2006 to 2009.
