With a developer’s perspective and deep community ties, we help national brands expand strategically, investors unlock long-term value, and property owners move deals forward with speed and confidence.
If you’re a property owner exploring a sale — or an investor looking for your next strategic acquisition — let’s talk.
Our Services
AREA Group brings over 20 years of hands-on experience in ground-up real estate development, with capabilities that also include complex redevelopment. We’ve successfully guided projects from raw land to ribbon cutting, overseeing every phase of the process — from site selection, entitlement strategy, and municipal approvals to design coordination and tenant delivery.
Our edge lies in uncovering and creating off-market opportunities through a proactive, relationship-first approach. With a focus on single-tenant, net-leased retail assets, we’ve worked closely with municipalities and surrounding communities to make challenging sites viable — including approvals in jurisdictions where similar developments were historically denied. With decades of experience supporting high-volume, brand-conscious retailers, we understand the strategic considerations national tenants face when entering new markets — and what it takes to align real estate decisions with their operational goals.
From navigating the politics of local government to building long-standing community trust, we know how to move a project forward. Our team adapts to projects of any scale, working alongside trusted consultants, legal advisors, architects, engineers, and financial partners to deliver results. At every stage, AREA Group brings persistence, insight, and a boots-on-the-ground mindset that turns overlooked properties into lasting value.
AREA Group provides strategic development management services for investors and developers seeking to expand, reposition, or unlock greater value from existing assets. Whether enhancing underutilized land, navigating entitlement hurdles, or creatively introducing new tenants to an aging site, we help transform unrealized potential into long-term value.
Our team offers full lifecycle support — from market studies and site planning to municipal approvals, consultant oversight, and delivery — all customized to the specific goals and constraints of each project. Clients lean on our deep experience in navigating political dynamics, entitlement processes, and design coordination to bring projects to life with precision and speed.
Unlike traditional third-party managers, AREA Group often brings fresh perspective and market insight to identify what’s possible — not just manage what’s already defined. With a flexible, hands-on approach, we become a strategic partner to ownership teams looking for more than just oversight — but real solutions.
AREA Group prepresents retailers, franchisees, and expanding brands with a strategic, full-lifecycle approach to market growth. Our work begins with a deep understanding of the tenant’s business model and expansion goals — and continues through custom site identification, local engagement, entitlement navigation, and deal structuring.
We specialize in uncovering overlooked opportunities that align with our clients’ long-term objectives — often identifying sites that haven’t yet hit the market. Because we approach tenant representation from a developer’s perspective, we assess not just location and demographics, but buildability, municipal challenges, and long-term value creation.
Retailers trust AREA Group to move quickly, think creatively, and open doors others can’t. Whether expanding into new regions or deepening market share, our clients gain a strategic partner with the relationships, experience, and problem-solving ability to make their growth plans a reality.
AREA Group actively acquires retail and multi-family properties for its own portfolio and in partnership with strategic investors. We target a wide range of opportunities — from stabilized single-tenant NNN assets to value-add shopping centers and underperforming assets — with a focus on long-term potential and creative repositioning.
Our strength lies in sourcing off-market deals through direct outreach, local relationships, and boots-on-the-ground market knowledge. Whether we’re acquiring for ourselves or helping investors pursue targeted objectives, we approach every deal with discipline, flexibility, and speed.
For property owners, AREA Group offers a direct, professional buyer with the ability to move quickly and navigate complex transactions. For investors, we provide access to unique opportunities that rarely reach the open market — along with a trusted partner who knows how to unlock hidden value.
