Our Business Strategy  

On the Retail side of our business: we own primarily high volume grocery anchored shopping centers. Our shopping centers are leased around Essential and Daily Needs based tenants. 

For over 25 years, we have leased and developed shopping centers for many of the nation’s top retailers including Kohl’s, Kroger/Ralph’s Grocery Company, Safeway, Albertsons, Ulta, Chipotle, Starbucks, ALDI, TJMaxx, Five Below, Dollar Tree, 99 Cents Only, In-N-Out, Ross, Petsmart, and many more.  We understand the needs of our retailers and create properties of long-term value that enhance communities.

On the Industrial side: we make joint venture investments with leading industrial developers as well as direct investments on warehouse and distribution buildings. We focus on Industrial properties with Class A clear heights, loading docks, and multi-modal transportation access. Since 2019, Yacoel Properties has diversified its real estate portfolio to include Industrial properties. Through strategic partnerships with best in class developers in key markets, we are adding several warehouse properties to our portfolio. 

Claude Yacoel, the principal of Yacoel Properties, also makes early-stage investments in high growth start-up companies in a variety of industries.
