Former Taubman Specialty Leasing Expert Cheri (Baker) Cook Joins Woodcliff Realty

Strategies to enhance landlord revenue beyond the conventional leasing of space remain a central focus for owners, particularly at properties in redevelopment during pre-leasing and construction phases.

To further advance this initiative, Woodcliff Realty Advisors, LLC welcomes Cheri Cook, a specialty leasing expert formerly with The Taubman Company.

Cheri (Baker) Cook will offer her extensive experience in driving incremental, top-line revenue growth for our retail real estate clients.

Her past experience working with premier landlords, such as Taubman Centers, Inc., GGP, Kravco Company LLC and Trammell Crow Company, spans a wide range of capabilities—from curating distinctive merchandise concepts to creating partnerships with local community entities that not only generate revenue but also drive incremental traffic to the shopping center.

She will help Woodcliff Realty clients boost NOI by introducing incremental revenue opportunities, such as pop-up and brand activations, digital signage, sponsorships, telecommunications leases, automated retail, ghost kitchens, food trucks and short-term storage solutions, to name a few.

Cheri managed specialty leasing and common area initiatives for Taubman Centers before its collection of trophy mall assets was acquired by Simon Property Group in November 2025. This allowed her to transition from working with one landlord to now assisting multiple landlords as a consultant. She will continue to be based in Detroit Metro. Please give a warm welcome shoutout to Cheri.
