Retail has formed strategic partnership alliances in an
effort to introduce the best products and services to our
clients and retailers, as well as other shopping center
developers. These products and services offer the most
customer-focused delivery and leading-edge technology.
Urban-Capital Investment Group (CIG)
Urban Retail Properties is pleased to announce the formation of
Urban-Capital Investment Group (CIG). CIG efforts will be directed
towards the purchase of retail, office and mixed-use properties.
There are no geographical barriers. CIG's responsibilities will be
to source opportunities utilizing Urban Retail's vertical
integration platform. Seasoned professionals who will use their
expertise and knowledge of the market to achieve a fair sale price
between buyer and seller will drive the Urban CIG initiative.
Developers, lenders, special service providers, municipalities and
portfolio owners/asset managers please contact CIG Principal Moe

StreetMac
Urban Retail’s alliance with StreetMac (www.streetmac.net),
a Chicago, Illinois-based commercial real estate financing
firm, opens the doors to new opportunities for retail mall
ownership and management in markets all over the country.
The partnership presents a unique proposition for current
property owners to avoid bankruptcy or property foreclosure
due to the weak retail market. Drawing upon its
relationships with lenders, real estate organizations and
its experience with commercial mortgage backed securities,
StreetMac will advise Urban on opportunities for acquiring
and managing distressed retail mall properties. StreetMac is
also able to provide due diligence services, when
applicable. Founded in 2007, StreetMac’s senior executives
have originated more than $4 billion in commercial real
estate financing transactions. In collaboration with Urban
Retail’s strengths as one of the nation’s leading
third-party real estate managers, the partnership is sure to
uncover new market opportunities and expand Urban’s property
ownership and management portfolio. Please contact StreetMac

Vision Payment Solutions (VPS)
Urban Retail and Vision Payment Solutions (VPS) bring a completely
integrated system for setting up and monitoring the business of
specialty retail tenants. The system, which includes a cash register
with built-in POS, credit/debit and gift card processing, check
processing, sales tracking and automatic rent and percentage rent
payment, streamlines the setup process for specialty tenants, many
of whom are first time owners. The all-inclusive system saves the
specialty retailer money, facilitates a quicker opening date and
rent commencement and allows specialty leasing staff the ability to
dedicate more time to securing new deals. Urban Retail
Small Business Funding
Urban Retail has formed a strategic partnership with Three
Sixty One Funding, a full-service capital funding company to
help provide supplementary financing to small-and mid-sized
business owners. The working capital can be used for any of
your business needs.
The merchant capital program helps tenants with monthly
credit card sales of $5,000 and above avoid the lengthy loan
process by selling a portion of future credit card sales to
Three Sixty One. As daily credit card transactions are
batched, a small, fixed percentage of each sale goes to
repay the cash advance. The payment stops automatically when
the advance is repaid.
