HWGA Group was formed by Joseph L. Harberg after a long career in retail real estate representation and development. The company provides consultation and execution across retail and restaurant leasing, acquisition, development, site selection, lease negotiation, project leasing, and asset management. HWGA Group also works on shopping center redevelopment and ground-up site development, with active projects in several U.S. states. The firm's background is tied to Harberg's earlier work with The Harberg Masinter Company and Retail & Restaurant Growth Capital, which shaped a practice centered on tenant representation and project acquisition for retailers and restaurateurs.
