QUOTES:

“Our company today, really carries on a lot of the traditions that I started with when I broke free from practicing law and primarily, it has never been a transactional type of company, we’ve always been more of an operating company.”

“Our niche in the world is owning and operating multi-tenant neighborhood shopping centers that are primarily unanchored.”

“You know the small mom-and-pop tenants may not be considered credit from a Wall Street perspective, but from a reality perspective they’re actually really good credit because these are family businesses that people fight for everyday.”

“The reason we like to be in the middle of the country is that we find great stability in the cities that we’re in, we also find that there’s less competition…”

“Rolling through the recession, we saw the resilience of our tenant base and then basically turned that to the sole purpose of our company moving forward, as far as investing is concerned.”
