Based in Tampa, Meridian has provided a variety of real estate services to partner clients ranging from single unit start-ups to well established legacy brands. Our team of seasoned Real Estate experts specialize in Site Selection, Tenant Representation, Lease/Contract Negotiation,Investment Sales, Market Penetration/Analytic Studies and Leasing.
At Meridian, we strive to gain the best possible understanding of our clients and their needs. We evaluate the goals and initiatives of our clients as well as past successes and areas of underperformance to maximize outcomes. It has proven beneficial to have a thorough understanding of the history and the culture of the brand’s consumer experience so we can best provide ultimate real estate solutions.
Whether it is an existing concept or a new venture, we strive to identify, derive, and apply the most important data points for each clients real estate needs. The common “cookie cutter” demographic info may describe a trade area or sub market, but we work with our clients to truly establish brand specific analytics.
We take great pride in uncovering sites that aren’t “available”, creating opportunities for our clients. While many clients seek sites in newly developed areas, almost all concepts also rely on the ability to source in-fill sites. Through research, relationships, creativity, and persistence we have been able to deliver off-market sites in those highly desired trade areas that are difficult to penetrate.
Meridian has led expansion efforts for numerous clients throughout the country with a strong knowledge base in many of America’s largest metro areas. Our firm brings a certain agility that allows us to partner with best in class local brokers in any market in the U.S. On these engagements, we find not only the best local real estate advisors, but more importantly the best fit for our clients specific needs. Many national firms and broker networks have great talent, but unfortunately that isn’t always consistent from market to market. Our flexibility allows us to put together the best possible team for each client.
While we have had great success working with established clients that have strong internal real estate teams, many of our clients engage us to perform these tasks on an out-sourced basis. Whether it is the thorough review of leases and purchase agreements with our clients’ legal counsel or working with the financial team on pro formas for a board presentation, we bring a meticulous attention to detail helping to ensure that our clients objectives are being met.
We have been fortunate through the years to build strong relationships with developers, landlords, and other retailers throughout the country. In many cases, it has been through this network that we have been able to provide creative solutions for our clients. We are consistently able to successfully leverage these relationships to the benefit of the groups we represent.
