ACHIEVING EFFICIENCIES and CREATIVE SOLUTIONS
 THAT CAN’T HAPPEN IN TRADITIONAL BROKERAGES

 

The Collaboration of a Team

The cornerstone of our company culture is our unique team approach to business. You benefit from an entire group of professionals working together, versus the efforts of one. Our strength lies in the synergy formed through our consistent collaboration on all projects. Combining the individual strengths of our team members—the whole being greater than the sum of its parts—is what we practice. Every day.

Targeted Approach

Our clients also benefit from our unique leasing strategy. Not simply focused on filling square feet, we target and recruit the right retailers to specific properties. Every project begins with a comprehensive evaluation of the subject property’s market and trade area. From there, we devise a merchandising plan designed to populate the subject property with the ideal tenant mix. This ensures that new tenants complement the existing mix and fill voids in the trade area. Starting tenants off with high potential for success.

Proactive Market Strategy

By actively reaching out to targeted retailers, we generate tremendous exposure for the subject property within a relatively short period of time. Plus, we’re able to leverage our retailer relationships to the benefit of our landowner clients.
