Entrepreneur | Commercial Land & Retail Strategy Chris Weninegar is a former entrepreneur turned commercial real estate advisor, bringing a builder’s perspective and brand-first mindset to land and retail development across Alabama. With a focus on emerging markets like Baldwin County, Birmingham, and Huntsville, Chris works with landowners, developers, and investors to help identify opportunities that align with long-term growth patterns and placemaking potential. Drawing on a background in retail, hospitality, and mixed-use strategy, he has a particular interest in New Urbanism and walkable community design—where commercial, civic, and residential uses converge. His approach blends real-world development insight with clear communication and a strong sense of local momentum, especially in areas seeing rapid in-migration, infrastructure expansion, and institutional investment. Chris partners with clients who are looking beyond the obvious—people who see the potential in a corner lot, a growth corridor, or a blank canvas.
