Our Strategy

Focused on Essential Retail, Built for Cycle Resilience - Producing Durable Returns.

A sector-specific strategy refined over two decades, grounded in execution and built to capitalize on market opportunity.

Strategic Investment Focus

Essential Retail Only

  • Density and supply constraints underpin every investment we make, with assets located in highly dense, infill submarkets.

    Our target tenants recognize the value of proximity to their customers and view it as essential to their business model.

  • Exclusively target everyday essential retail, both grocery and non-grocery anchored. We serve neighborhood daily needs by creating a confluence of health, well-being, food, necessities and convenience.

  • We acquire middle-market properties below replacement cost, targeting assets with clear visibility to unlock value.

  • Minimum population density criteria of 10,000 people within one mile, and 30,000 people within two miles. Minimum daily asset traffic criteria of 25,000 vehicles (while understanding proximity to mass transit).

We invest exclusively in everyday retail centers with essential tenants that drive durable, cycle-resilient demand.

Value Creation

Strategic Levers

Vertically integrated platform drives value creation throughout an investment’s life cycle. At acquisition, we look to leverage certain fundamental characteristics:

  • We typically acquire seasoned assets with legacy leases and reposition them for today’s consumer. Our strategic leasing efforts re-tenant spaces with the most relevant tenants at market rents. In dense, supply-constrained markets, we understand how to leverage pricing power to drive value.

  • We mitigate short-term anchor lease risk through our deep relationships and market insight. Understanding the renew/re-lease dynamic creates an arbitrage opportunity, as a result, we look to acquire assets with shorter WALT at a discount. 

  • Everyday retail has seen little new development in over 10 years, and construction costs are forecast to continue to restrict new supply. A key theme underlying our acquisitions is buying below replacement cost. This provides protection against new competition and allows us to aggressively pursue desirable tenants.

  • We invest strategically in updates to enhance facades, exteriors and signage, boosting occupancy and rents. Reconfiguring obsolete and oversized spaces into smaller shops drives incremental rent, while disciplined capital improvements deliver attractive, accretive returns.

  • Retail real estate has evolved, with parking needs, municipal requirements and physical layouts all changing. We unlock value by creating new outparcels on underutilized land and selectively selling existing ones to capture pricing arbitrage.

  • Our hands-on approach to property management ensures quality control and cost oversight.  We leverage trusted local operators for on-the-ground maintenance and consistent tenant communication.
