Capturing Retail Opportunities
The retail world is changing at an unprecedented rate. With change comes opportunity, but capturing it requires the ability to identify markets, sub-markets, developments and individual retailers that best fit new retail environments.
At United Properties, capitalization rates and rental rates are just the start. We underwrite opportunities from the user's perspective, and work hard to determine and then measure the ingredients necessary for our tenants' success.
We make it our business to understand the unique factors that can make the difference for each project we take on, and bring the necessary capital, expertise and personnel to make it happen.
Current retail focus
- Infill redevelopment – United Properties continues to seek redevelopment opportunities in infill urban neighborhoods anchored by grocers
- Neighborhood and ethnic retail centers – to build on our expertise in neighborhood centers, we have established relationships with several ethnic-centered grocers seeking a development partner to help them serve the growing ethnic markets
- Joint ventures – United Properties works with owners of land or existing centers for development, market and capital expertise to uncover the best retail solution
- Acquisition of stable centers – United Properties is seeking to acquire neighborhood centers anchored by strong grocers in infill locations.
Retail investments
United Properties is seeking grocery-anchored retail projects in Minneapolis-St. Paul, eastern Wisconsin and the front range of Colorado. We are particularly interested in projects that have a value-add component, whether it be leasing, redevelopment or repositioning of an asset within its trade area.
