Why Retail?
Retail real estate remains one of the most resilient and proven asset classes. JCR’s founder has been active in retail since 2003, witnessing its strength through the Great Recession, the pandemic, and the rise of e-commerce. Today, the sector is as strong as ever—anchored by daily-needs tenants, limited new supply, and steady consumer traffic.
Essential, service-oriented shopping centers provide stable cash flow, inflation protection, and long-term development potential.
Key Drivers
- Necessity Demand: Grocers, fitness, healthcare, and dining tenants remain insulated from online disruption.
- Inflation Protection: Leases often include annual increases or percentage rent tied to sales, and tenants have pricing power to adjust to inflation.
- Durable Income: Reliable rent streams with minimal capital needs and proven performance across cycles.
- Value-Add Upside: Re-tenanting, expense control, and improved merchandising drive NOI growth.
- Future Development: As driverless vehicles reduce parking demand and zoning evolves, large retail parking lots offer long-term redevelopment opportunities—from new pad sites to mixed-use or residential density.
Retail has adapted and thrived for decades—delivering cash flow today and opportunity for tomorrow.
