Stead Retail Group

The Stead Retail Group understands the differences of each of our client’s product lines, customer profiles and operational requirements to provide outstanding tenant representation.  Our business model is relationship-driven, not transaction-based, so we look at locations through the eyes of the retailer. We recommend what is in the best interest of our clients at all times, including walking away from deals if they are not the best fit for their needs.

Tenant representation can vary in degree based on our client’s needs. For some companies, we assume full real estate responsibility which includes strategy development, market analysis, and deal negotiation. For others, we offer specialized services (e.g., competition analysis, alternative identification, etc.) that supplements in-house capabilities.
Services Provided:

• Current situation analysis and strategic planning
• Programming management/review
• Market analysis and alternatives identification
• Strategic site selection
• Municipal incentives identification and negotiation
• Comparative property, infrastructure and financial analysis
• Transaction negotiation

The Stead Retail Group has a long track record of negotiating with developers, building owners, and leasing agents. Its principals are well respected in the industry and known for negotiating tough but fair deals for clients. Whether it’s a new, untested store concept, an independent operator with a few locations, or a chain with hundreds of stores, the Stead Retail Group successfully helps retailers grow or consolidate their business and effectively manage their real estate portfolio.
