Mulrenin is a former member with more than forty years of experience in the field of real estate development.  Known by his clients and colleagues as “TJ”, Mr. Mulrenin began his legal career in 1980 as in-house counsel for Safeway Stores Inc., where he negotiated, documented and oversaw all Safeway real estate transactions in the eastern half of the United States.  From 1986 through 1992, Mr. Mulrenin served as General Counsel and Development Project Manager for Pence Friedel Developers, Inc., a national shopping center developer.
