WMCG’s FOCUS ON NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING CENTERS IS ALL ABOUT DOING ONE THING REALLY, REALLY WELL.

Neighborhood
Shopping Centers

We focus on Neighborhood Shopping Centers due to their time proven, resilient, consistent, and dependable return on investment profile.

Traditionally located in dense, well-trafficked areas, these essential centers offer convenient access and benefit from excellent visibility.

 
 

Something For Everyone

This combination of features makes them extremely attractive landing spots for local, service-oriented businesses that place a premium on being easily accessible to as many customers as possible – from coffee shops to dance studios, from nail salons to doctors’ offices, and everything in between!

 
 

Characteristics critical to success.

Generally, there are numerous benefits to owning and investing in commercial real estate. Many groups elect to spread their investments across a broad range of asset classes, but what we have discovered is that by focusing our organizational efforts and resources on Neighborhood Shopping Centers, we have been able to drive the greatest value possible for our clients.

This value is derived because concentrating on a niche product type leads to the development of several key characteristics critical to success, a few of which include:

  • When you do one thing repeatedly, every day, you develop an expertise that is hard to match by generalists. Our focus on Neighborhood Shopping Centers has helped us acquire an​ unparalleled understanding of this niche area of commercial real estate, and this expertise has helped identify new opportunities, recognize potential challenges, and maximize returns.

  • Specializing in a single niche reduces risk because operational variability is minimized – fundamentally, the core components of managing Neighborhood Shopping Centers remain the same. Developing a consistent management platform has allowed our clients to streamline operations, maximize efficiencies and reduce costs. Reducing costs makes them more competitive in the marketplace, translating into better occupancy, lower turnover, and higher revenues.

  • Focusing on one niche makes it easier to identify market gaps and develop innovative solutions to create value. For us, this can mean unearthing a property that has been historically undermanaged, helping an owner understand the dynamics of the local trading area, or recognizing that creating a synergistic tenant mix leads to stronger and healthier businesses.

  • The commercial real estate sector is a small community. Focusing on a single product type within the sector makes that community even smaller. And since most real estate professionals spend their entire career in the field, often gaining experiences in several different functions along the way (from broker to owner to developer and back to owner or broker), paths tend to cross very frequently. Each encounter represents an opportunity to make a positive impression, deliver a concise marketing message, and strengthen a relationship. Over the years, we are grateful to have developed such an incredible breadth and depth of relationships with owners, investors, brokers, bankers, and numerous other professionals within the industry.

  • Ultimately, our focus improves the returns we are able to generate for our clients and the communities we serve. WMCG is singularly focused on providing asset management and advisory services to owners and investors in neighborhood Shopping Centers in southeast and southwest U.S.A.
