BUILT2SUIT | Episode 10 Craig Kopko on Authenticity, Impact, and the Future of Retail Development

Recorded live at ICSC Florida, Nathan Griffis sits down with Craig Kopko, Executive Vice President of Development at WMG Development, LLC, for a candid conversation about trust, growth, and authenticity in commercial real estate. Craig shares why developers should slow down on over-promising in today’s challenging market, how honest communication builds long-term relationships, and what landlords and developers should stop doing in 2025. He also discusses scaling from smaller projects to large, grocery-anchored developments like the 125-acre Heritage project, and what it takes to build a sustainable pipeline. The episode closes with reflections on mentorship, legacy, and paying it forward—highlighting how the CRE industry can continue to grow by helping people get better. Plus: Oura Rings, Zillow‑scrolling confessionals, and the mystery of spongy trade‑show flooring. These are the voices that move the market.
