shopping centers, it shows.
Doing retail better. This mantra has guided NewMark Merrill over the last 40 years: through changes, challenges, varied economies and industry disruption. We hold true to our core beliefs of connecting with communities, creating authentic environments of unsurpassed opportunity for tenants, and to share our passion for retail real estate with innovative team members.
Acquisitions & Development
We are actively seeking to acquire well-located and well-anchored retail centers with strong population growth and high barriers to entry. Offering significant dry powder capital which can be deployed under a variety of investment structures.
Leasing
By integrating leasing and management, we take an owner-centric approach to financially underwriting tenants and structuring lease terms, improving long-term outcomes compared to deals structured for a quick commission.
Property Management
Creating lasting, successful landmarks is at the forefront of NewMark Merrill’s approach to shopping center ownership and management. Because we are both third-party property managers and shopping center owners ourselves, we employ an owner’s mentality at every center.
Marketing
NewMark Merrill has always been uniquely steeped in strategic and creative community engagement. We don’t just like to throw parties—we captivate our core customers with tailored events and programs that activate purchases and foster long-term community loyalty.
