Who we are

Four decades in retail.

Founded in 1986, United Growth is a cycle-tested necessity retail investment and development firm, focused on the neighborhood centers and single-tenant properties anchored by the everyday goods and services communities depend on.

Since 2010 we have completed 79 investments across 47 metros and 22 states, sourcing more than half off-market through deep industry relationships. We do more than fill vacant spaces. We create and acquire the right assets, in the right locations, for the right tenants, and manage them to build lasting value.

40+ years in retail

What we do

Necessity Retail Acquisitions and Development

United Growth pairs a value-add retail investment business with a national net-lease development platform, two complementary businesses that source, create, and compound value.

Value-Add Acquisitions

Unlocking value through hands-on leasing, repositioning, and disciplined asset management.

Acquisition Criteria

Grocery-anchored, neighborhood, community & strip centers in dominant retail trade areas
Underperforming or mismanaged assets
Value through lease-up, re-tenanting, repositioning, parcelization, & outparcel development
Off-market, distressed, undercapitalized, or 1031 situations
Single-asset or portfolio, all states considered

Purpose-Built Development

We develop ground-up, single-tenant net-lease properties for high-credit national tenants.

Acquisition Criteria

Ground-up, build-to-suit & develop-to-core single-tenant net lease
Outparcels at power, grocery-anchored & neighborhood centers, plus corner and pad sites
National & regional net-lease retailers and restaurants (fast-casual, QSR, coffee), health & wellness, and grocery
