TUCSON, AZ (May 29, 2026) — Longtime Tucson retail broker Nancy McClure has joined Western Retail Advisors, where she will lead the firm’s Southern Arizona retail practice.
McClure announced the move after decades with CBRE, where she became one of Tucson’s best-known retail real estate specialists.
“After decades with CBRE, I am thrilled to be affiliated with Western Retail Advisors and lead its practice in Southern Arizona,” McClure said.
McClure has built a career representing shopping center owners, national and local retailers, and investment clients across Tucson and other key Southwest Arizona markets. Her work has included retail leasing, user sales, investment sales, and redevelopment strategy for some of the region’s most visible retail properties.
Her move comes at a time when Southern Arizona’s retail market continues to evolve, with strong demand for well-located space, renewed interest in infill corridors, and ongoing redevelopment of older retail centers. McClure has been a frequent voice on Tucson’s big-box and shopping center trends, noting in past market commentary that ownerships that are responsive, realistic on pricing, and prepared to contribute to tenant improvements are often best positioned to secure tenants.
McClure has also been recognized beyond Tucson for her role in Arizona commercial real estate. AZ Big Media named her one of the Most Influential Women in Commercial Real Estate for 2022, identifying her as first vice president at CBRE Tucson at the time, and Southwest Women of Influence by Real Estate Forum Magazine. Within her company, she achieved national recognition for her performance and served 5 years on CBRE's Retail Advisory Council for the Americas and as its President for two terms.
At Western Retail Advisors, McClure’s Southern Arizona role gives the Phoenix-based retail brokerage firm a stronger presence in Tucson and adds a veteran local broker with deep relationships across the market.
For Tucson’s retail sector, the move is notable because McClure has long been associated with many of the region’s most active retail assignments and tenant strategies. Her affiliation with Western Retail Advisors signals continued competition for retail brokerage talent as Southern Arizona’s shopping centers, redevelopment sites, and infill corridors draw renewed attention from retailers, landlords, and investors.
