Principal
Ann V. Ehrhart
Founder
Trusted advisor to Developers, Investors and Capital Partners.
Ann is the founder of Everstreet and the creator of the firm's Activate Your Street™ framework. She advises developers, investors, and municipalities on how retail creates stronger locations and improves long-term asset performance.
Before founding Everstreet, she built one of Boston's leading urban retail leasing practices, negotiating complex, multi-million-dollar transactions on behalf of institutional owners and nationally recognized retailers. Over more than twenty years she has advised on Greater Boston's most significant mixed-use developments.
Her work challenges the conventional assumption that all retail behaves the same. The most successful places are shaped by planning, merchandising, design, and execution, not by leasing alone. That insight became the foundation for Everstreet.

Our Philosophy
Most projects treat all retail as if it behaves the same. It doesn't.
Every location carries a different combination of consumer demand, tenant demand, and competitive dynamics. Which means the question a project asks at the outset determines almost everything that follows.
The question most projects ask
Leasing Risk
Will tenants lease space within an existing retail ecosystem?
The question that determines value
Creation Risk
Will a successful retail ecosystem be created here in the first place?
Successful retail isn't created by filling space. It's created by understanding what a location can become, and building a strategy to get there. That's the philosophy behind Everstreet and the foundation of the Activate Your Street™ framework.
