Our Team

Blake Dickinson serves as Managing Director and Head of Net Lease Strategy at CRC, where he leads a distinct component of the firm’s investment platform focused on unlocking value across the retail portfolio through pad-site initiatives, outparcel leasing, select land development and redevelopment projects, and strategic dispositions.

Since joining CRC in 2008, Blake has developed deep expertise in evaluating pad-site opportunities and has played an important role in expanding how CRC creates value across its retail investments. His work focuses on identifying opportunities to transform underutilized land and excess parking areas into income-generating assets and to separate, reposition, and monetize standalone parcels, creating additional value and flexibility within an investment and broadening the ways CRC can execute against an asset’s investment thesis. Over the course of his career, Blake has led and negotiated hundreds of transactions involving national and regional retailers, developers, and retail investors.

Blake holds a B.A. in History from Dickinson College and an M.B.A. from Loyola University Maryland.

Blake is a member of ICSC and ULI. He also serves as a Trustee of The Walters Art Museum, where he has been involved with the organization’s Gala Committee for nearly a decade and currently serves as Chair of the Building & Grounds Committee.
