Our approach is simple: We seek well-located and well-anchored retail properties with strong population growth, high barriers to entry, and opportunity for improvement. Through enduring trusted relationships with municipalities, partners and investors, we empower our properties with the connections and tools needed to exceed expectations.
Adding Value
As an opportunistic value-add investor, NewMark Merrill brings deep experience to the redirecting and elevating of property assets through both ground-up development and redevelopment. With proven expertise in greenfield, infill, and stabilization/lease up, our portfolio features well-optimized power centers, community centers, grocery-anchored centers and entertainment properties as well as mixed-use developments.
Read on to see how we provided extensive remodeling and modernizing of the existing retail and office components, infrastructure enhancements, conversion of obsolete space to prime retail and a fresh new identity for our Crenshaw Imperial Plaza property.
Before
As an original six-story structure built in 1961, Crenshaw Imperial Plaza was in dire need of an overhaul. A dated façade, aging facility and tired wayfinding prompted NewMark Merrill to invest in this unrealized property, located just minutes from the future SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA — home to the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers.
After
Following a $15 million redevelopment, Crenshaw Imperial Plaza emerged as a strengthened asset and customer-centric space within a growing market. Improvements included extensive remodeling and modernizing of existing retail and office components, infrastructure enhancements, and a fresh new identity.
