Services We Provide
There are numerous ways in which The Was Group is able to effectively serve our clients. Our services include: Landlord Representation, Feasibility Studies, Retailer Representation and Property Sales & Acquisitions. Below is a description of each of our services.
Landlord Representation
In this capacity, The Was Group serves as an outsourced leasing agent for our Landlord clients. We handle all facets of our client's property management, including formulating strategy, prospecting new tenants, marketing, deal negotiations and renewals. Our Executive Team has leased some of the premier outlet centers in the country as well as numerous distressed centers. We have a long-term track record of increasing center productivity and occupancy rates for our Landlord clients. Our Executive Team has negotiated deals with virtually every retailer in the outlet industry, including premier brands such as Coach, Polo, Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, Banana Republic, Guess, Under Armour, Brooks Brothers, Chico's, and many others.
Feasibility Studies
In this capacity, we assist our Landlord clients in determining the viability of a proposed outlet center. The outlet industry has experienced tremendous growth over the last decade, and as a result, many new outlet centers have been built. However, because the industry has matured, and the economy has slowed, retailers are much more selective when choosing new projects for expansion. The Feasibility Study is a comprehensive analysis that involves detailed market analysis, assessing the retailer's level of interest in the project, setting up financial models to ascertain the economic viability of the center, and a number of other critical criteria. In the end, the Feasibility Study provides our Landlord clients with quick answers on the viability of their proposed center, and does so at a minimal cost.
Retailer Representation
In this capacity, we serve as an outsourced real estate department for our Retail clients. We handle all facets of our client's portfolio management, including formulating strategy, site selection, deal negotiations, and renewals. Our Executive Team has represented some of the premier retailers in the outlet industry, and our services offer a significant savings to our clients in need of this service.
Property Sales & Acquisitions
In this capacity, we represent both Buyers and Sellers of retail properties. We analyze a number of important criteria in determining proper valuations of properties, including valuations and length of term of leases, retailer feedback, and future potential of the property.
