Madison Marquette Properties Honored as 2023 ICSC MAXI Finalists

Retail Real Estate Firm Recognized for Marketing Expertise and Professional Excellence

Washington, DC — March 31, 2023 — Madison Marquette, a leading private full-service real estate provider, investment manager, developer and operator, today announced that three of its properties have been named finalists for one of the coveted and highly competitive MAXI awards from ICSC. Winners are expected to be announced during the prestigious Global Awards Ceremony held during the ICSC Las Vegas conference in May. The MAXI Awards recognize innovative events, programs and technologies that add value to the retail real estate industry. Award categories are designed to recognize the evolution of the industry while rewarding creativity and innovation.

“We are both excited and honored to announce that three properties marketed by Madison Marquette have been named finalists in this year’s ICSC MAXI awards competition,” says Heather Almond, Executive Vice President, Retail Services, Madison Marquette. “These awards shine a light on the unique method Madison Marquette employs when analyzing industry data and trends and turning that information into actionable, results-oriented programs when promoting its tenants and marketing its shopping centers. This year’s MAXI awards are incredibly competitive with entrants representing shopping centers from around the world, and finalists like The Culver Steps, Bell Tower and CityPlace Doral represent the very best in retail real estate marketing expertise.”

2023 Finalists

Madison Marquette’s The Culver Steps, Bell Tower, and CityPlace Doral and have each been named a finalist in this year’s MAXI awards competition.

The Culver Steps: “Integrated Marketing Brands The Culver Steps”: Finalist (Integrated Category) — As a public/private mixed-use property, The Culver Steps had focused primarily on B2B and leasing since its 2019 opening. When traffic and visitations stalled, the center’s owner wanted to host events to attract consumer attention. Maximizing its in-depth market research to create a year-long series of inspired events that would resonate with its target market, the center increased property visits by 60% YOY, increased traffic on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays by up to 84%, added $20,112 in 2022 specialty leasing revenue, and filled 12,961 square feet of vacant space. An overhaul of its social media, PR and website messages earned 27,846,887 local consumer impressions and expanded the center’s trade area by 10.4%, while careful cost management yielded a 14% program ROI.

Bell Tower: “SWFLStrong”: Finalist (Community Category) — Located in southwest Florida, Bell Tower was directly in the path of Hurricane Ian, the deadliest storm to hit Florida since 1935. With thousands of its shoppers now homeless, mountains of soggy furniture lining the streets, bridges and roadways destroyed, and the area’s beautiful landscape buried under piles of rubble, Bell Tower created #SWFLSTRONG to provide food and other essential products and services to area residents; it also moved seven displaced businesses to the center. Using just 6% of its 2022 marketing budget, it increased event traffic up to 23% and individual merchant sales by as much as 30% YOY while creating a sense of normalcy and inspiring hope throughout the community.

CityPlace Doral: “Cultural Experience Changes Perceptions”: Finalist (Experiential Category) — For years, CityPlace Doral’s merchandising concentrated heavily on its nightlife and clubs. Over time, this negatively impacted the perception of the center and alienated family shoppers in the center’s primarily Hispanic demographic. To combat this, Madison Marquette relied on its proprietary methods for analyzing market data to support the center’s management team and create a multi-week program featuring two culturally significant events – Kiddoween and Day of the Dead – to increase traffic and sales, but more importantly, attract Hispanic families before the holiday season. Through promotional efforts, the center generated 116,576,661 impressions in the targeted Hispanic market, and while using just 6.62% of its 2022 marketing budget, via partnerships, offset costs by $45,450.

Wilmington has benefited from the population movement during the pandemic with the population in the surrounding 1-mile area increasing by 24% from 2010 to 2021 and projected to increase at a similar 10% growth rate over the next five years.

Madison Highland Live/Work Lofts Announces Plans to Develop Next Generation Live/Work Lofts in Key Metro U.S. Markets

DC area real estate leaders join forces to form a strategic investment and development initiative to transform underperforming office buildings to live/work lofts

Washington, DC — April 7, 2022 — Madison Marquette, a leading private full-service real estate provider, investment manager, developer and operator, and Highland Square Holdings, the leading developer of live/work properties in the Washington, DC area, today announced the formation of Madison Highland Live/Work Lofts, a strategic investment and development platform to grow the next generation of live/work loft communities in key urban markets across the United States.

“Our strategy is to provide best in class loft style apartment homes by creating additional office and live/work functionality that enables the customer to decide how best to use the units,” said Madison Marquette Chairman, Amer Hammour. “The change to hybrid work environments, buoyed by technological advances, has altered retail and then office products. To retain and grow value in office buildings, we believe that physical space must provide consumers with the same flexibility, utility and value as cyberspace.”

“Having flexible space that can serve more people in more ways is smart business. By expanding loft uses, we increase the number of people we can serve. The net result is a resilient resource that maximizes market demand and stabilizes revenue across changing markets, at all times,” said Madison Marquette Chief Executive Officer, Vincent Costantini.

Madison Highland Live/Work Lofts creates an entity with a full range of expertise, resources and proven results.

“It was a natural fit to combine our strategic vision, development and construction expertise with Madison’s broad market reach, financial capacity, operations and placemaking DNA,” said Madison Highland Live/Work Lofts Managing Principal, Robert Seldin, who has been at the forefront of this unique strategy. “Working with the Madison Marquette team, we believe the Live/Work strategy and platform will grow more rapidly, and in exciting ways, to better serve consumers and communities.”

In addition to the DC area, Madison Highland Live/Work Lofts is targeting select U.S. markets that have seen high knowledge and information-based job growth drive increases in housing costs. The platform’s initial focus will be in select markets in California, the Southeastern U.S., as well as in New York, Boston, Seattle, Austin, Dallas, Denver, and Salt Lake City.

Seldin said the Live/Work Loft strategy targets prospective residents, small businesses, and the growing market of remote and hybrid workers who are actively seeking better and more flexible housing and office options. The demand is fueled by several factors. The remote work population in the U.S. has soared from eight million in 2017 to 58 million today. He said that traditional apartment competitors are not well suited to accommodate this change.

“There are an additional 85 million U.S. households composed of singles and couples to offer greater value and sense of community as well as the 75% of U.S. businesses with fewer than ten employees for whom the rigidity and cost associated with traditional office leasing is sub optimal,” Seldin added.

Madison Highland Live/Work Lofts recently purchased and is seeking entitlements for two additional vacant Class A- office buildings, Skyline 4 and 5, to convert to Live/Work lofts. At 572,000-square-feet, Skyline 4 and 5 are part of the Skyline Center, the largest contiguous, mixed-use development in the DC area.

Seldin led the successful Mission Lofts project in Falls Church, VA, which is an example of how a property can be transformed to meet changing market conditions. The 173,000 square foot office building was vacant for seven years and had seen its value plummet from $51 million to below $20 million. Three years later, as a now stabilized community of 156 Live/Work Loft style units, its value has risen to a level higher than its former high-water mark as an office only asset. Additionally, it was recently named the Best DC MSA Adaptive Reuse Apartment Community by Delta Associates.

“Mission Lofts was a vacant commercial office building with tall ceilings, big windows, an open floor plan, and ample parking that had outlived its use as a single purpose office structure. From its location at the intersection of two main roads, three miles from the Pentagon, it was a perfect fit for our live/work strategy,” said Seldin. “We gained approval to allow for live/work use in less time than most traditional ground-up zoning actions. At the same time, we helped to establish a new asset category in Fairfax County, VA, which has the second highest median household income county in the United States.”

Madison Marquette Releases Inaugural 2021 Holiday Trends Report: Opportunities & Headwinds

Consumer and Retailer Trends Support a Robust Outlook for the Holiday Shopping Season

Washington, DC, November 10, 2021 – Madison Marquette, a leading private full-service real estate provider, investment manager, developer and operator, today released its inaugural 2021 Holiday Trends Report: Opportunities & Headwinds, which anticipates record-setting consumer spending, a return to in-store shopping, and retailers scrambling to meet demand.

Madison Marquette’s report combines a range of 2021 forecasts and its own trends analysis to provide an inclusive outlook for the upcoming holiday season. The report highlighted that sales growth of 13% could exceed 1999 levels and how retailers are blurring the lines between digital and in-store shopping to maximize sales.

“Consumer spending momentum and their thirst to celebrate after last year’s lockdowns and missed milestones are driving a bullish retail sales outlook,” said Meghann Martindale, Madison Marquette’s Head of Retail Research.

Martindale also warned of wildcards that could cloud the holiday season outlook. “While retailers’ investments to overcome supply chain threats are likely to increase product prices and could impact overall sales, the 2021 holiday season will be remembered as a return to in-store shopping enhanced by digital discovery and purchasing,” Martindale said.

View the Full Report. Key trends identified in Madison Marquette’s analysis include:

Robust Retail Sales Outlook
According to a variety of forecasts, holiday retail sales are expected to grow 7% to 13%, the latter of which would make this holiday season the strongest since 1999. Consumer spending is expected to shift from last year’s homebody lifestyle purchases of athleisure wear, kitchen, home accessories, and electronics to more discretionary and impulse purchases on apparel, jewelry, handbags, accessories, and luxury items.

Supply Chain Threats to Sales Growth
High consumer demand is fueling an optimistic outlook for the holiday season, but several wildcards threaten retail sales, including persistent supply chain challenges, lack of products, and delivery delays. Challenges have forced retailers to enhance stopgap manufacturing, inventory, and distribution measures to meet consumer demand. However, retailers are hitting sales targets by drastically increasing spending on suppliers, logistics, freight, and labor costs. Retailers are trying to absorb most of the burden, but consumers should expect upward pressure on prices. Product shortages include chips for electronics toys, cotton for apparel, food and household staples, even Christmas trees, and décor. Gift cards and spending on experiences could grow more than expected with limited product availability.

Shopping Early & In-store
Consumers are shopping early to buy products amid uncertain supplies while returning to the in-store experience after an accelerated digital migration during the pandemic. According to Placer.ai, foot traffic at the top 100 U.S. malls and at most of Madison Marquette’s properties were back to 2019 levels by August. Consumers must prepare to pay higher prices, have multiple alternate gift ideas, and anticipate longer delivery windows. To retain customers, retailers will need to prepare their employees to help frustrated customers find what they want. Already, retailers are warning consumers early about the lack of product, earlier ship dates and suggesting substitutions for original gift ideas if they are sold out or unable to fulfill in time.

Digital Discovery: The Hybrid Reality
Digital discovery is key to captivating consumers on the path to purchase across all channels. The in-store experience is now more digitally engaging, while online and mobile shopping has evolved into a more immersive experience that mimics the physical store as much as possible. For the first time, Target kicked off Deal Days in October with offerings online, through the Target App, and at all Target stores, allowing shoppers to save across all channels. Social commerce is also one of the fastest-growing segments of retail. Consumers also are embracing live-streamed fashion shows, using artificial and virtual reality apps to try on cosmetics, apparel and accessories, and using personalized digital stylists for gifting this year.

Madison Marquette Expands Senior Living Platform with Development in Punta Gorda, Florida

(As appears on PR Newswire)

PUNTA GORDA, Fla., Aug. 16, 2021 -- Madison Marquette, a national private fully-integrated real estate services provider, investment manager, developer and operator, today announced the closing of a major construction loan and the start of the development in partnership with Saudi based Arbah Capital on a 135-bed senior living facility located in Punta Gorda Isles, Florida. This transaction marks the continued leadership of Madison Marquette in the senior living space – with the company recently having also developed with Arbah Capital a 117,000 square foot, 144 bed community in Brandon, in the Tampa market and invested in additional projects across the country. Madison Marquette partnered with Arbah Capital and Meridian Senior Living to secure the equity capital for the two Florida projects.

Mr. Mahmood Al-Kooheji, CEO of Arbah Capital, said "In these very unfortunate times, we still need to build for the future and provide facilities which truly take care of our elderly, which is an ever-growing need. This crisis has shown the even greater need for services to be provided with the greatest professionalism and care, and we are very pleased to partner with Madison Marquette as our developer, and Meridian Senior Living, our operator, whose facilities have been exemplary in the way they have coped in these difficult times. We are very pleased to have achieved financial close on the Punta Gorda property and look forward to developing the pipeline further."

Madison Marquette is adding the Punta Gorda facility to its senior living portfolio – which includes six communities in California, Washington and Michigan and additional senior living properties in Florida and Texas.

"We believe that senior living needs will be an integral part of the nation's healthcare delivery system going forward," said Amer Hammour, Chairman of Madison Marquette. "As such, providing quality housing and service is a growing area of focus for our company and an important step towards building value-based care and value-based investment for our stakeholders. We are appreciative to Arbah Capital for their confidence in us and are pleased with their valuable partnership in Punta Gorda. We look forward to working on several other investments with them. We are also pleased to have Meridian as an Operating partner for the property when it is completed. Arbah and Meridian are globally known for their capabilities in strong investment, financial and operations leadership and will assure success for this property," Mr. Hammour added.

The $37 Million Punta Gorda development is slated for completion/resident move-ins beginning in early Q1 2023 and will be operated by Meridian Senior Living, a premier operator currently managing over 75 communities with 7,000 residents across the country. The Class A, 116,000 square foot facility will be located on 4.4 acres on Aqui Esta Drive, about 10 minutes from the Tamiami Trail, in Punta Gorda. This development is optimally situated approximately 50 miles southeast of Sarasota and 25 miles north of Fort Myers. Banesco USA procured the necessary project debt. Diaz Fritz Group out of Tampa, Florida is the project's seasoned general contractor and St. Louis, Missouri's CASCO+R|5 is the architect.

Madison Marquette's healthcare services group, headed by Glen Perkins, has successfully executed the development of more than 60 healthcare facilities in recent years. These facilities join the Madison Marquette family of premier, state-of-the-art developments in retail, multifamily, office, hospitality and mixed-use properties across the United States.
