Marketplace Properties

We believe good business doesn’t have to involve rocket science. It requires building trust, striving for ongoing improvement and developing longterm relationships. And without question, always leaving things better than we found them.

Since 1985, Marketplace Properties has improved communities through commercial real estate development, investment and management. Initially, Marketplace focused on the development of neighborhood grocery anchored shopping centers primarily in Southern California, with over 20 in all. Over the years, Marketplace has expanded its development and investment portfolio, both in geography and product type to include retail, multifamily and industrial properties.

 
 
The partners at Marketplace are knowledgable, honest and forthright. I can truly say that I have not dealt with a more professional group in my twenty-five years in this business.

Strong Tenant Relationships

Historically, Marketplace’s focus has been neighborhood commercial retail development. Most of our development projects are anchored by a national chain supermarket and/or drugstore. Marketplace has had the privilege of working with many great tenants, some of which include:

As a former retailer, I appreciate the straightforward approach Marketplace takes in dealing with those critical to the success of their project, whether it is the major anchor, small tenant shop owners or governmental agencies; they strive to deal fairly and consistently.

Development & Investment Partnerships

Retail

Marketplace Properties’ focus is the acquisition, development, redevelopment and asset/property management of retail and retail oriented mixed-use properties. We typically invest in properties that have a value-add component, whether through improved leasing or physical redevelopment. Our focus is on neighborhood and convenience oriented shopping centers in in-fill markets that have a need for repositioning and have also acquired surplus real estate or closed/vacated stores from major retailers. Marketplace has a good reputation, the financial capacity and a proven track record that sellers can count on.


Multifamily &
Industrial

While Marketplace has historically specialized in commercial retail development, we also invest, either as a majority or minority stake-holder, with third-party sponsors that specialize in the redevelopment of multifamily and/or industrial properties.

I’ve had the pleasure to work with Marketplace for over 10 years. They’re very professional and have always done what they said they would do. I would highly recommend them for any type of retail development.
