Ground-Up Retail

Delivering new retail projects that meet tenant demand in growth corridors and urban infill markets.

Our Approach

Ground-up retail allows us to address unmet demand with precision. We focus on sites with strong visibility, access, and demographic fundamentals — delivering projects sized and configured to attract national tenants and meet local needs.

Where We Focus

Urban infill locations with limited retail supply, and growth corridors where rooftops are expanding faster than services. Sites with strong ingress/egress, traffic counts, and co-tenancy potential are prioritized.

Execution Levers

  • Developing centers anchored by creditworthy tenants
  • Designing flexible space for QSR, medical, and service tenants
  • Targeting pad site opportunities with national demand
  • Leveraging modern construction standards for efficiency and appeal

Proven Playbook

Retail development thrives where demographics and access converge. Across peer projects and industry partnerships, we’ve seen how disciplined site selection and tenant-driven design create enduring value. We carry that playbook into each new project, ensuring execution is both intentional and resilient.

Sendero Retail — Pearl River’s Flagship in Bastrop

Sendero isn’t just a master-planned community — it’s a retail destination at the gateway to Bastrop. With more than 250,000 square feet of open-air retail, dining, and pad sites along SH-71, Sendero demonstrates how disciplined retail planning can anchor a mixed-use environment while standing alone as an investable retail asset class.

Retail Highlights

Strategic Value

Sendero’s retail component validates our approach to ground-up retail development: pick corridors with population growth, match creditworthy tenants with unmet demand, and design for long-term absorption. As Bastrop grows with Tesla, SpaceX, and the Bastrop 552 film studio, Sendero Retail will serve as the commercial anchor.

The Value of Ground-Up Retail

Ground-up retail creates durable returns by delivering services where demand is strongest. When rooftops arrive ahead of tenants, disciplined development captures that gap.

Lessons from mixed-use development reinforce how retail anchors enduring community growth. Case studies like 4208 Richmond Ave show how retail frontage delivers long-term value.
