James A. Schlesinger, CEO of Talisman Companies, L.L.C., has redeveloped
and remarketed projects in the U.S. for more than two decades. Under
his leadership, Talisman has created a niche in the overpopulated world of shopping
center development - a boutique firm that solves development problems that other
retail owners are unable to solve. Unlike other developers, Talisman is welcomed by
communities because it recycles and reinvigorates their shopping complexes.
