Red Bank, NJ – (Mar. 12, 2025) – First National Realty Partners (FNRP), a leading national private equity commercial real estate firm, continues to expand its national portfolio despite persistent market challenges. With rising interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and slowed new development, FNRP is capitalizing on market dislocations to acquire institutional-quality, necessity-based retail centers that offer investors the opportunity for long-term stability and attractive returns.
“While uncertainty has impacted and reshaped investment strategies across the industry, necessity-based retail has shown to be one of the most resilient asset classes,” said Jared Feldman, Executive Chairman at FNRP. “With elevated development costs delaying new projects, well-located, stabilized retail centers are more valuable than ever. We’re leveraging our industry expertise to identify and acquire these assets at opportune moments.”
In 2024, FNRP closed $95.3 million in transactions, expanding into key markets such as Arizona and South Carolina. These acquisitions highlight the firm’s ability to execute in a volatile environment, securing assets with strong tenant demand, stable cash flows, and potential value-creation opportunities.
The challenges facing new retail development—including labor shortages, high material costs, and prolonged entitlement processes—have placed a premium on existing, high-performing properties. FNRP’s disciplined acquisition strategy positions it ahead of the curve, ensuring access to retail centers that serve essential consumer needs.
“With almost no new supply of open-air retail anywhere on the horizon, our portfolio seemingly becomes more valuable every day,” said Michael Hazinski, Chief Investment Officer at FNRP. “Our capital strength, national operating platform, and data-driven approach allows us to capitalize on the current supply-demand imbalance we are experiencing today.”
With limited development and sustained demand for essential retail, well-positioned shopping centers remain among the most sought-after asset classes. By navigating today’s market challenges with a strategic, long-term approach, FNRP continues to deliver stability and attractive returns for investors.
