Acquisition & JV Criteria

Marquee Capital is actively pursuing investments with the following criteria:

Marquee acquires existing open air, multi tenant shopping centers in the Midwest, with a focus on properties anchored by traffic generators such as grocery and national necessity oriented retailers. Target deal size ranges from $20 million to $80 million for individual assets, with portfolio acquisitions above that range also being considered.

Properties of interest typically share several characteristics: a minimum of 60,000 square feet of GLA, at least 50% of NOI derived from national or regional credit tenants, durable trade area demographics, and physical positioning that supports long term tenant demand. Marquee considers both stabilized centers with growth potential and centers requiring repositioning, retenanting, or redevelopment to unlock value. 

Marquee pursues investments outside its core retail focus where the firm has direct in house expertise or partners with specialist operators who have a proven track record in the asset class. The firm does not deploy capital in strategies it does not deeply understand, and discipline about this boundary has shaped how Marquee evaluates non core opportunities.

Current areas of interest include industrial, multi-family and structured equity or joint venture investments alongside operating partners with demonstrated expertise. Marquee evaluates opportunities on a deal by deal basis, prioritizing alignment of interests, clear value creation thesis, and capital structures that protect investor downside.
