Robert Ades

Mr. Ades joined the operating team of Rugby Realty in 2005, after spending the previous seven years working in a variety of management roles at Rugby’s sister retail company, A&E Stores, Inc. In the twenty-one years since joining the commercial real estate business, Rob has been responsible for the repositioning of millions of square feet of Rugby assets, including large capital expenditure projects and dozens of tenant improvement projects. In many cases, he was able to take underperforming assets and lease them to 100% occupancy.

In 2018, he spearheaded our expansion to Cleveland, Ohio with the acquisition of Rugby’s largest building to date, the 600,000 square foot AECOM Building (now the AmTrust Building). Rob has orchestrated some of the largest lease deals in the state of Connecticut and Cleveland, OH. over the last fifteen years by combining first-in-class assets with a straight-forward business style that emphasizes the importance of trust in relationships.
