Our guest for the January 10th edition of PlayMakers Talk Show: Peter S. Brodsky, Investor & Owner, Shops At Redbird
Peter S. Brodsky is an investor and business executive who, through a majority-owned company, owns the Shops at RedBird (formerly known as Southwest Center Mall and, before that, Red Bird Mall). Peter is investing in the property to restore it to a place of pride and quality in the community.
Despite many challenges over the years, RedBird is a comeback fighter, proudly reclaiming its title as the center of activity and the place to be in southern Dallas.
Like many shopping malls built from the late 1970s through the 1990s, the world changed around Red Bird Mall through a series of recessions, demographic shifts, the rise of online shopping, and the decline of American mall culture. From its heyday in the 1980s, Red Bird Mall had fallen on hard times, losing its ties with the community with a name change to Southwest Center Mall and bankruptcy in 1997. For a time, it looked like it was going the way of other dying malls.
Over the last seven years, Brodsky has grown the development and the investors and rebranded the transformation to The Shops at RedBird.
Before acquiring RedBird, Peter was a founder and partner of HBC Investments LLC, a firm focused on investing both third-party capital and the capital of its principals in growth-oriented companies. Before co-founding HBC, Peter was a partner at the private equity firm of HM Capital Partners and its predecessor, Hicks Muse, where he was employed for over 15 years.
At HM Capital, Peter focused on the media industry, was responsible for deploying or managing over $2.6 billion of equity investments, and completed over 100 transactions. In the civic and non-profit arenas, Peter also serves on several boards.
