WARWICK, RI (March 19, 2026) — Wilder, a leading real estate development, management, and leasing firm, is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Mark T. Brennan & Co. and Warwick Mall, one of Rhode Island’s most established and dominant retail destinations. Under this new engagement, Wilder will take on leasing responsibilities to support the mall’s continued evolution and long‑term success.

“We’re thrilled to work alongside Mark and his team as we enhance the merchandise mix and strengthen Warwick Mall’s position for decades to come,” said Jonathan Kaplan, Executive Vice President of Leasing at Wilder. “We’re confident Warwick will remain a relevant and important part of the community and greater market, as it has for decades.”

Warwick Mall continues to serve as a premier destination for Rhode Islanders, delivering a dynamic mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Anchored by a powerful roster of nationally recognized brands, including Macy’s, Target, Jordan’s Furniture, Nordstrom Rack, JCPenney, Apple Cinemas, Old Navy, and more, the center benefits from exceptional visibility and a deeply loyal customer base. With this robust tenant line‑up and enduring market presence, Warwick Mall is strategically positioned to accelerate its momentum amid today’s evolving retail landscape.

“Warwick Mall plays a major role not just in the region’s retail landscape, but in the community overall,” said Andy LaGrega, Principal at Wilder. “Our team knows this property well, and we see tremendous potential to build on what’s already there. We’re looking forward to driving fresh leasing activity, strengthening the merchandising mix, and supporting Mark’s vision for the future.”

For Mark Brennan, one of the principal owners of Warwick Mall, the partnership is both a strategic decision and a meaningful continuation of the mall’s legacy.

“Wilder brings a deep understanding of retail, strong relationships, and a proven track record,” said Mark T. Brennan, “As a second‑generation owner, preserving and strengthening the mall’s position has always been a priority. Given Wilder’s history with the property and the personal connection through the work Jonathan’s father, Allen, has done here, it feels like the right team at the right time. We’re excited for what this collaboration will bring.”

Wilder will begin immediately exploring new leasing opportunities and developing updated strategies to help ensure Warwick Mall remains a leading destination for shopping, dining, and entertainment.
