Retail Conversation Is All About ‘Rightsizing,’ Says Lee & Associates Principal

by Jeff Shaw May 29, 2018

LAS VEGAS — At RECon, the world’s largest retail real estate trade show held last week in Las Vegas, REBusinessOnline sat down with veteran Chicago broker Rick Scardino of Lee & Associates. A principal with the Chicago office, Scardino spearheads the retail division at Lee & Associates of Illinois. Discussion topics ranged from backfilling vacant space to local, independent grocers and the movement of online retailers embracing brick-and-mortar locations. What follows is an edited version of that conversation. REBO: According to Mid-America Real Estate Corp.’s Shopping Center Report, development has tailed off about 5 percent year over year. Is that a surprise or not? Scardino: This has been going on for a few years. It’s well known that the United States is the most over-developed retail country in the world by far. It’s all about rightsizing, simple supply and demand. I don’t see it as a bad thing. Certainly existing landlords who aren’t developing are thrilled to see less new competition coming online. There really hasn’t been a need for it. Mellody Farm in Vernon Hills, Illinois, is one of the few new projects with Whole Foods Market, REI and Nordstrom Rack as anchor tenants.

by Kristin Harlow May 25, 2018

HOUSTON AND WASHINGTON, D.C. — Retail developer Madison Marquette and Houston-based developer PMRG have confirmed that they plan to combine operations. The terms of the merger were not disclosed, but PMRG will become part of the family of companies owned by Capital Guidance, a global investment firm that owns Washington, D.C.-based Madison Marquette. The leadership of both firms will remain intact, and the combined company will maintain its primary office locations in Houston and Washington, D.C. Closing is expected in the next 30 days. “We anticipate a highly complementary combination that significantly expands the capabilities of both firms,” says Amer Hammour, chairman of Madison Marquette. “Madison Marquette’s investment management as well as retail and mixed-use development, marketing and management expertise would join PMRG’s office, medical, industrial and multifamily capabilities to provide leadership across all asset classes to our clients and investment partners.” PMRG’s concentration in the Southern United States will balance well with Madison Marquette’s presence in primary gateway markets on both coasts, according to PMRG.
