Jenel Management

At JENEL, we are a private real estate investment group based in New York City, with a rich history dating back to the 1980s. Over the years, we have evolved into a recognized industry leader in urban, high-street retail, and other mixed-use properties. Our portfolio consists of over 90 properties, totaling more than three million square feet, strategically located in dynamic cities that possess strong market fundamentals.

Our team consists of seasoned professionals with expertise in acquisition, development, construction, finance, asset management, marketing, and leasing. We execute on value-creation strategies that successfully enhance our investments. Our resources, banking relationships, and liquidity continue to provide us with purchasing power and investor confidence to pursue long-term opportunities in creating generational wealth and maximizing asset value.

Our core values are honesty, respect, loyalty, commitment, and reliability. These principles guide our actions and decisions, ensuring that we maintain the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in all our dealings. With over $2 billion in assets under management and a proven track record of re-positioning under-performing properties, we are well-positioned to continue our growth and success in the real estate industry.

Acquisitions

Our acquisition strategy targets core, core plus, and value-add opportunities, with a specialization in high-street urban retail located in corridors throughout major gateway cities such as New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Miami, Boston, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Charleston, and others. We focus on properties with attractive economic adjusted returns, measured downside risk, and significant upside opportunity over the medium and long-term.

We evaluate opportunities based on specific criteria, including core assets with medium to long term stabilized leases in-place at below-market economics, core-plus assets with solid property fundamentals and strong revenues, and value-add assets that include land for development, existing building repositioning, vacancy, and severely under-market in-place rents with leases expiring in the short term. Our flexibility and ability to provide a quick response to investment sales proposals or other proposals have been key to our success in the acquisition space.

Asset Management

Our asset management team collaborates with all facets of the firm and external partners to determine the best course of action on an asset-per-asset basis. With a deep knowledge and understanding of capital markets and trends, we stay ahead of the change in investment cycles. Our commitment to market research and utilizing market intelligence has given us a competitive advantage in creating accurate and positive debt and equity restructuring options. These options have contributed to increased returns for our partners while optimizing portfolio performance.

Leasing

The key pillar that has led to our success is the ability to lease space in a timely fashion. Our leasing team focuses on identifying and canvassing for the best-in-class retail users that help maximize overall sales and positioning for our entire portfolio. We devise thorough marketing campaigns, property positioning, and co-tenancy plans, leveraging strategic relationships and being extremely proactive when it comes to deal procurement. Our retail experience and management skills help align our interests with those of our tenants, providing us with the tools needed to solve for their complex requirements and needs. Our hands-on approach has made it easier for tenants to navigate through the lease process, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction.

At JENEL, we are dedicated to continuing our growth and success in the real estate industry, guided by our core values and commitment to excellence. We look forward to many more years of providing exceptional service and creating value for our clients and partners.
