Jonathan DiGiovanni is a Partner at AZ Avenue Partners and a seasoned corporate real estate professional with 15+ years of experience.
Over his career, Jonathan has built deep expertise in site selection, lease negotiation, and portfolio management for some of the country's most recognizable retail and restaurant brands. He most recently served as a Real Estate Representative at RaceTrac, and earlier held a Real Estate Manager role at Driven Brands.
His restaurant-sector experience includes serving as Real Estate Portfolio Manager at CKE Restaurants, where he oversaw the entire Hardee's brand portfolio, and as Real Estate Asset Manager for Arby's at Inspire Brands. Earlier, as Real Estate Manager at Perfumania, he handled new site selection, lease negotiations, and renewals while helping expand a footprint of more than 350 stores across the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Across these roles, Jonathan has worked on a wide range of project types—from inline space and single-tenant retail to regional power centers—giving him a comprehensive perspective on how location, tenant credit, and deal structure drive long-term real estate value. At AZ Avenue Partners, he brings that corporate, tenant-side experience to the firm's development and investment work, sharpening site selection and underwriting across the Southeast and Midwest.
