Cindy Ciura Marks 20 Years Transforming Retail Landscapes Nationwide

Cindy Ciura, the visionary founder of CC Consulting, celebrates two remarkable decades at the helm of her commercial real estate consulting firm based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Specializing in retail brokerage for High Street properties, CC Consulting has established itself as a national powerhouse representing landlords and connecting them with a sophisticated network of preferred retailers, including luxury and high-end brands. Ciura's career has been instrumental in shaping major retail developments and urban revitalizations across the country, earning her a reputation for strategic insight and industry expertise that has transformed shopping districts from local hubs to national destinations.

Throughout her 20-year journey, Ciura has worked on transformative projects that have redefined retail landscapes. In downtown Birmingham, Michigan, she helped elevate the area from lacking national retail representation to becoming a thriving destination with prominent brands. Her work in Detroit spans more than 25 years, where she played a pivotal role in bringing national retailers like Hard Rock Cafe and Borders Books to the city when few national brands existed there. Beyond Michigan, Ciura has significantly impacted markets in Florida, particularly Orlando and Naples, while also working in Palm Beach, the Carolinas, California, Ohio, Chicago, and New York City. Her success stems from deep industry relationships cultivated over decades and a keen understanding of how to curate tenant mixes that attract complementary luxury retailers.

Looking ahead, Ciura remains optimistic about brick-and-mortar retail's future, countering narratives about retail's decline by noting that she's never been busier in her 20 years of business. The firm is expanding into new territories, including Washington, D.C., and venturing into convention center retail—a completely new arena that demonstrates CC Consulting's continued innovation. Beyond business success, Ciura emphasizes the importance of community contribution, serving on the Board of Directors of Michigan Humane and working with Catholic Charities on housing initiatives. Her career exemplifies how professional expertise can create meaningful urban transformation while maintaining strong community values.
