Hill Partners, Inc.
As the lead developer at The Town Center at Levis Commons, Hill Partners,
Inc. handled the creation of the strategic plan, development,
leasing, tenant coordination, merchandising, marketing and management
of this open-air, lifestyle development. Hill Partners, Inc,
founded in 1983, specializes in commercial real estate while
providing innovative retail development solutions to its clients
and partners. The company, which is based in Charlotte, North

skills is Jackson Brewery, a historic landmark building located
