Albert B. Ashforth, Inc. – Management Services, part of The Ashforth Company, has been awarded the property management contract for Putnam Plaza, a retail parade at 68-90 East Putnam Avenue in Greenwich.
What the appointment covers
Putnam Plaza comprises approximately 28,300 square feet of retail space in a prominent section of the town’s shopping corridor on Route 1. The site is anchored by Whole Foods Market and houses a mixture of smaller operators, including Asiana Café, Salon Mimoza, Starbucks and Choice Pet. The plaza is close to Greenwich Train Station and has easy access to Interstate 95, factors that contribute to its commercial significance in the borough.
Management and responsibilities
Ashforth says its team will provide day-to-day property management aimed at maintaining and enhancing the asset’s value and tenant experience.
“We are pleased to welcome Putnam Plaza to our management portfolio. Our team is committed to delivering responsive, high-quality property management services that enhance the property’s long-term value and create an exceptional experience for tenants and their customers,”said David Marks, Senior Vice President and Director of Operations for Ashforth’s property management division. Jackie Monge has been named property manager for the site, supported by Laura Supliski in property operations.
Local implications
For residents and shoppers in Greenwich, a change of manager can influence daily operations at the plaza — from maintenance and cleaning standards to tenant liaison and local events. The presence of a national manager overseeing a centre anchored by a major supermarket is likely to shape leasing decisions, service levels and potentially short‑term capital projects.

Context and accountability
Putnam Plaza sits within one of Fairfield County’s busier retail stretches, surrounded by higher‑end shops, eateries and professional services. For local councillors and residents the appointment raises routine but concrete questions about how the site will be managed in future: responsiveness to tenant concerns, upkeep of public-facing areas, deliveries and servicing, and coordination with town transport and planning priorities. The Halsam Company, which owns the asset, said Ashforth’s track record and experience informed the decision to appoint them.

Residents or councillors seeking further detail on operational changes, planned improvements or tenant engagement strategies should expect Ashforth and the property owner to outline their short and medium‑term plans for the plaza; until then existing leases and services at the site remain in place under the new management arrangement.
