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.
