Peter Shrier | CEO & Founder

As Founder and CEO, Pete leads Rethinc in strategy, growth, operational oversight and company vision. He cares deeply about the upbeat company culture and providing a safe, productive and gratifying place to work. With nearly two decades clocked in the real estate industry, Pete leverages his experience in advising clients, small to large, in structuring various transactions: commercial leases, acquisitions, dispositions, developments, joint-ventures, restructures and more. As an investor himself, Pete spearheads Rethinc’s development arm and their purposeful portfolio growth. He is actively involved in all facets from entitlements, design, capitalization and construction.

Prior to founding Rethinc Real Estate, Pete spent thirteen years at SSH Real Estate, a large independent firm, where he focused on building a brokerage business and leasing strategy for company assets. As a general partner, Pete personally began purchasing and developing real estate circa 2006 putting together a portfolio of multi-family and mixed-use assets, many of which are still held today and managed under the Rethinc platform.

Pete is an active supporter and board member of the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), where he gets his fix in helping abandoned and unwanted animals find a loving home.  Learn more about PAWS here, and how you can help save a life.  They pay you back tenfold.
