Andrea Kahn, senior corporate counsel at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Airports (URW Airports), is a legal professional among the airport’s commercial industry whose 10-year career at URW has spanned negotiating landmark new business deals valued at hundreds of millions of dollars, providing critical support and relief that enabled small business tenants to weather the COVID-19 crisis, and helping to lower the barriers of entry for local small disadvantaged businesses as part of URW’s Advance Network team.
“My job as senior counsel for Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield in the airport space is unique in that I get to be involved in seeing exciting developments start as a concept on paper and evolve into a final product,” she said. “I can walk through the airports and see the deals I was involved in come to life through our partnerships. It is very rewarding and always something different every day.”
Kahn said there are many projects in early stages that she knows are going to help transform the industry and she is proud to be part of it.
“Our projects, including the new JFK Terminal 1, are setting the new standard for global and international terminals in the U.S.,” she said. “Growing up in LA, I always dreamed of working for Westfield because it was the best of the best. I was fortunate enough to land my dream job when I discovered a job opening for Westfield’s Airport Division as a lease negotiator. Ten years later, it is still my dream job.”
Kahn earned her law degree from Pepperdine University and her bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern California. Andrea and her husband have two young children and reside in Los Angeles.
