Our Team

Throughout his professional career, Gregg Perelman has been a trend-setter. As CEO of Walnut Capital, he has brought his vision of innovation to bear in a city that is becoming synonymous with urban rebirth.

Gregg has been instrumental in creating and implementing Walnut Capital’s aggressive acquisition and development strategy. A hands-on developer, he often supervises construction and renovation projects in the field and takes prospective tenants on tours of apartments and townhouses. He jointly oversees the company’s property management arm, leading a staff of more than 100 people with vision and enthusiasm throughout the day-to-day operations, marketing, and management of all the firm’s residential, office and commercial properties. Gregg has built his career around attention to detail and changing the landscape of the city he calls home.

Todd Reidbord has expertise in real estate and corporate law, specializing in commercial real estate acquisition, financing, leasing, and development.

He jointly oversees the operations and staff at Walnut Capital Management that coordinate all aspects of development, management, and brokerage services. He is the point person for the many investor and lender relationships involved in Walnut Capital’s owned and managed properties.

After co-founding Walnut Capital, Todd sought properties that appeared too difficult to rehabilitate for other developers. Driven by the question, “Would you live there?” he dedicated himself to doing what was needed to answer “yes.” His projects have infused the city with some of its most innovative growth. With collaboration, “You can do special things.”

Andrea is our Director of Accounting & Commercial Operations with an extensive background in accounting and finance with a degree from John Carroll University.  She is also a CPA but once she became a Controller she found her true passion. Not surprising considering she was her mother’s accounting assistant for the family business at the young age of 13! She oversees the commercial property managers, accounting team, manages multiple development projects, and prepares financial reporting and analysis……not to mention puts out lots of fires throughout the day! She is thorough, detail-orientated and always ready to take on new challenges. 

Verity is the Controller who oversees many functions at Bakery Square. She provides leadership and support for accounts payable and receivable, assists with monthly and annual operating budgets, and has tremendous patience and attention to detail for handling the responsibility of processing CAM charges in addition to conducting lease administration for commercial tenants.

Her efficiency is key given she prepares over 60 bank recs a month!  She may be quiet, but she loves to dance - especially country line dancing!

Amanda is the Facilities Manager at Bakery Square.

Known for her straightforward, funny, and easygoing personality, Amanda is a strong advocate for women's rights, gender equality, and race relations. She is also a die-hard Buffalo Bills fan, who isn't afraid to share that she thinks Eat'n Park and Primanti Bros are overrated! *gasp*
