I’m raising capital from accredited investors to start companies that will purchase retail real estate and open businesses in those spaces. My goal is to build businesses in properties owned by the companies I create.
The businesses I’m interested in opening include supermarkets, delis, art galleries, and performing arts spaces. I would like to create places where people can shop, discover art, attend performances, and connect with their communities.
Potential real estate acquisitions include retail condos, storefront buildings, and mixed-use buildings with commercial space. My primary focus is small to medium-sized properties, with opportunities considered across several states.
The strategy combines two goals: owning the real estate and developing the business operating inside it. Each project would require evaluating both the property and the proposed business, including:
- The purchase price, financing, and ongoing property expenses.
- The location, customer demand, and competition.
- Renovations, permits, equipment, and accessibility.
- Staffing, inventory, insurance, and working capital.
The plan is to organize each property and each operating business as a separate company. Investors could evaluate individual opportunities and decide which projects they want to participate in. Investing in one project would not require investing in the others.
As I connect with interested accredited investors, we would evaluate potential properties and business concepts together. Purchases and business openings would depend on funding, due diligence, required approvals, and written agreements.
Before anyone commits funds, the proposed ownership interests, management responsibilities, compensation, fees, financing, potential conflicts of interest, and material risks would need to be clearly documented. The relationship between each property-owning company and operating business would also be explained in writing.
This strategy involves substantial risk. Owning the space does not guarantee that the business inside it will succeed. Properties can lose value, renovations can exceed their budgets, expenses can rise, and businesses can fail. Investing in multiple properties or locations does not eliminate these risks.
Accredited investors interested in discussing these proposed companies, retail property acquisitions, and business startups are welcome to contact me.
