Comprehensive Solutions. Seamless Execution. Strategic Vision.

We do more than lease space; we position properties to outperform. Drawing on on-the-ground intel and comprehensive analytics, we craft merchandising plans, activate demand, and structure deals that strengthen tenancy, NOI, and asset value.

• Asset positioning and merchandising strategy by submarket and consumer profile
• Targeted prospecting, tenant mix curation, and brand-forward marketing
• Lease-up, renewals, backfill, and co-tenancy risk management
• Repositioning underperforming assets via competitive analysis and proactive leasing
• Capital planning guidance: ROI on improvements, ownership structures, and exit strategies

Outcome: Increased absorption, resilient tenancy, and measurable NOI growth across Chicago neighborhoods and Midwest markets.

For franchisors and franchisees, we build scalable, repeatable real estate programs that protect the brand and accelerate growth. Leveraging Newmark’s national footprint and global resources, we deliver turnkey solutions that maintain quality and improve speed-to-market and unit economics.

• Territory design, market prioritization, and whitespace mapping
• Prototype/site criteria development and playbooks for consistent execution
• Franchisee onboarding, pipeline governance, and performance reporting
