Founded in 1984 as one of the Midwest’s first tenant representation specialists, Mid-America has become the dominant and most trusted name in retail real estate in the region. Our team is built on a foundation of unrivaled market knowledge, strong relationships and keen understanding of the evolving retail landscape.
We know retail real estate in every dimension, and have helped all manner of tenants, including occupiers who don’t think of themselves as being in retail. This includes medical services, financial services, health/beauty, fitness, entertainment concepts and, of course, food and beverage. We are sector specialists as much as real estate experts.
We can scale our level of service to meet your needs.
