Our Expertise

 

ACQUISITIONS
     Lerner-Heidenberg prides itself on its track record of acquiring and repositioning under-performing shopping centers.  We own and seek retail properties in high barrier-to-entry markets with constrained supply and limited competition.  In addition, our ability to understand, underwrite and turn around under-performing real estate has been the foundation of our success.  Lerner-Heidenberg formulates solutions to complex problems and moves quickly to take advantage of new opportunities.  Whether it is a single-tenant asset or a regional retail center, Lerner-Heidenberg has demonstrated its financial and transactional capacity and capability to close.

PROPERTY SERVICES
     Lerner-Heidenberg is a "hands-on" owner.  The company self-manages and leases the majority of its retail portfolio and believes that by doing so it achieves optimal value. This optimal value approach allows us to keep operating expenses low and pass along the savings to tenants through lower occupancy costs.  We rely on a leasing and management team with many years of experience, and our centers enjoy high occupancy rates and attract a variety of national, regional and local retailers.

DEVELOPMENT
     A significant contributor to the overall success of Lerner-Heidenberg Properties is its development business. Lerner-Heidenberg has consistently demonstrated its ability to assemble and acquire strategically located sites in both small and large markets, and to bring complicated new development projects to fruition.  We pride ourselves in delivering new development projects on time, under budget and as promised for our tenants.  As a result, major national and regional retailers have come to rely on us for expeditious and quality development performance.

REDEVELOPMENT
     Since its inception, Lerner-Heidenberg has gained much expertise in redeveloping stagnant properties.  Lerner-Heidenberg positions itself to take advantage of opportunities in many ways.  Whether through renovating a shopping center, reconfiguring and re-leasing vacant anchor spaces, "de-malling," or by demolishing and redeveloping properties, Lerner-Heidenberg is experienced in maximizing value.  The company systematically updates, remodels, and re-tenants its properties.
