Dusty Batsell

In 2009, Dusty joined Baceline, first as an acquisitions intern, then as a leasing manager & acquisitions associate, and finally as Director of Leasing. From 2013 until rejoining Baceline in 2020, Dusty oversaw the retail leasing, operations, and management for a publicly-traded student housing REIT. Dusty has also sponsored and led the evaluation and adoption of a new retail operating system and built a Retail Asset Management team from scratch.

Dusty enjoys the opportunity to help small businesses thrive and bring vibrancy to the neighborhoods in which they operate. He oversees all real estate activities on behalf of Baceline, including but not limited to: setting acquisition and disposition strategy based on specific portfolio objectives, monitoring and responding to global real estate trends for potential impacts to the Baceline portfolio, and effectively communicating the Baceline story to the broader market of brokers, owners, and sellers of neighborhood shopping centers. Dusty chose Baceline because it represented an opportunity to join a best-in-class organization and work alongside a talented and passionate team of individuals focused on strengthening communities through real estate investing.

He graduated from Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in Construction Science and earned an MBA from The University of Denver.
