Leasing

For each project, the leasing strategy includes an analysis of the local market to determine current market conditions, which includes a breakdown of competition, comparative rent levels and retail needs missing from each market. This information, combined with a full demographic analysis, helps us develop an individualized leasing plan for each of our properties.

Once a leasing strategy has been agreed upon, we pursue the prospective tenants through the various marketing avenues available. These include utilizing our personal contacts with the retailers, broker contacts, and email blasts, as well as posting each project with the appropriate listing services.

Our goal for all of the assets we lease is to produce the best tenant match for the property, which will increase the viability and long-term value of each of the clients.
