Plaza Advisors is a commercial real estate advisory firm that specializes in the investment sales of retail shopping centers throughout the Southeastern United States. Our objective as a value-add advisor is to provide exemplary retail investment brokerage and disposition services to our clients through Experience, Knowledge, and Vision.
Experience
Plaza Advisors’ team of professionals brings a wealth of industry related experience to its clients, and maintains strong real estate and mortgage capital market relationships. As a real estate brokerage firm, our clients include private equity owners, developers, foreign investment groups, and major institutions such as pension funds, life insurance companies, REITs, and money center banks. Our team has over 35 years of real estate industry experience and has closed in excess of $1.5 billion in shopping center sales, among more than 100 shopping centers and 13.5 million square feet. We are active participants in panels and committees for the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and are regularly called upon by trade publications to speak on a variety of topics related to the shopping center industry. Each of our team members is involved in each and every assignment.
Plaza Advisors has established long term relationships with the largest institutional and private shopping center owners and investors in the region. Furthermore, the company has also represented a number of owners with a single retail asset, or sold to a previously unknown buyer. We have a proven track record in finding the right buyer for the right property. Beyond that, our clients rely on our expertise in retail properties and our ability to efficiently and effectively execute the sale of their assets from the initial underwriting to closing of the transaction.
Knowledge
With a strict focus in the area of shopping center investment sales throughout the Southeastern United States, Plaza Advisors has extensive knowledge of retail properties, capital markets, investors, owners, leasing and management firms and trade areas in the Southeastern United States.
Our knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of investment properties, in relation to the capital markets, coupled with our exhaustive due diligence, allow our team to accentuate a property’s strengths while offering solutions for investment challenges. Plaza Advisors makes a practice of knowing the individual disposition assignment asset as well as or even better than the client/owner we represent.
As specialists in the field of shopping center investment sales, Plaza Advisors maintains a comprehensive database of virtually every new retail development, existing retail shopping centers, and tracks buyers and sellers of investment properties across the entire Southeast region.
Vision
Our vision allows us to evaluate a property’s strengths and challenges, and then develop a marketing theme that promotes each property in the best possible manner.
Our team has successfully sold retail investment properties in numerous real estate market environments and has consummated the sale of challenged investment properties in the most volatile investment cycles including REO, tenant demand downturns, and strained lending environments. Plaza Advisors has been involved in the marketing of the most challenged assets such as environmental contamination, anchor vacancy issues, employment of master lease provisions, lease termination negotiations, pre-sales, and partial construction projects.
Through our Experience, Knowledge and Vision, Plaza Advisors has established a unique position in the marketplace by redefining real estate investment brokerage as a seamless blend of advisory and transactional services. We are proud of our accomplishments but continually strive to grow our market share by providing outstanding customer service to our clients and investors.
