Meet Natalia
Led by Vision. Grounded in Experience.
With two decades in commercial real estate, Natalia Stezenko brings a rare blend of strategic insight, operational expertise, and community-driven vision to every project. Currently working in site selection, asset management and divestment for IKEA’s U.S. retail portfolio as well as U.S. acquisitions for INGKA Centres, Natalia also advises developers, cities, and institutional owners on how to unlock long-term value through strategy, retail, and activation.

“Natalia brings strategic clarity and a rare ability to execute across all phases of a complex project. She’s not just a consultant—she’s a collaborator, a connector, and a catalyst.”

“Natalia understands what it takes to make retail work—not just on paper, but on the ground. She helped us identify high-potential sites and negotiate smarter.. She’s a true partner in expansion.”
- Samantha Younes

“Natalia was instrumental in turning our ground floor into a true destination. She brought in the right retail tenants, shaped a cohesive leasing strategy, and helped us activate our public spaces in a way that created energy and drove traffic. Her work added both cultural and commercial value to the project.”
