What this property type is
Retail covers neighborhood and community centers, grocery-anchored strip centers, power centers, and lifestyle centers. In the private-syndication market, necessity-based retail — grocery, quick-service restaurant, health and beauty, pet, dollar stores — is the dominant flavor because its cash flow has held up across economic cycles.
Deals in the wizard range from single-property strip centers in the $2–$8M equity range to multi-property portfolios in the $15M+ range. Pro forma typically runs 5–10 years with explicit lease-rollover modeling.
