Our Approach

Retail and net lease advisory for durable income

Retail spans grocery-anchored centers, neighborhood and power centers, urban street retail, and single-tenant net lease assets. Performance depends on tenant mix, credit, sales productivity, trade-area demographics, and lease structure.

For net lease assets, we pair careful lease abstraction with focused buyer outreach - including 1031 exchange investors, private capital, and institutional buyers - to match each property with the right capital.

Value Drivers

What Moves Value in Retail & Net Lease

The factors our advisors weigh first on every assignment.

Credit & Concept

Operator strength, brand durability, and store-level performance shape perceived risk and pricing.

Term & Escalations

Remaining primary term, renewal options, and contractual rent growth drive net lease pricing.

Trade Area & Traffic

Demographics, co-tenancy, visibility, and access determine long-term occupancy.

Lease Structure

Absolute NNN, NN, and modified structures allocate expense and capital risk differently.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between NN and absolute NNN?

In an absolute NNN lease the tenant is responsible for essentially all property costs, including structure and roof. In an NN or similar structure the landlord typically keeps certain structural or capital responsibilities, which affects risk and pricing.

Can you help with a 1031 exchange?

We can work the real estate side of a 1031 timeline - identifying suitable replacement property and coordinating with your qualified intermediary and tax advisors. The timeline helper on our Calculators page shows key date markers.

Do you represent tenants?

Yes. We represent both landlords and tenants in retail and net lease assignments.
