Investor Relations

Company Background

Based in Stamford, CT, AmCap Incorporated was founded in 1979 and is a private equity real estate firm that invests in grocery-anchored retail properties nationwide, managing over $1 billion of assets on behalf of leading institutional investors. As a vertically integrated company, AmCap owns and manages grocery-anchored centers nationwide. Their niche specialty is better known in the real estate industry as US Grocery Anchored Retail or Necessity Retail. The company strives to protect and enhance the value of their assets for their tenants and investors. To meet this goal, AmCap adds value to its centers over time, beginning with selecting and operating centers which meet the following criteria:

• • Existing grocery-anchored center with national credit tenants
  • High income, densely populated metropolitan neighborhoods
  • Anchor tenant is a dominant, leading grocer chain in the region

AmCap acquires and operates Class A shopping centers on behalf of US government pensions, Ivy League university endowments, and leading institutional investors.

After acquiring the right property, AmCap s veteran team adds value to the center using its superior asset management capabilities. They enhance the values of the assets and are entirely responsible for transforming good centers into exceptional ones. With an average employee tenure of nearly 20 years, an industry rarity in employee retention and team unity, they are immensely proud that their people are their competitive advantage and greatest asset. AmCap has maintained its strong track record and has had solid performance through the COVID-19 pandemic with an emphasis on high quality grocery anchored and necessity retail-focused centers.

Investments

AmCap acquires Core, Core-Plus, and Value-Add grocery-anchored shopping centers nationwide with values between $15 million and $200 million. Their record for efficient closing is exceptional. Single properties or multi-property portfolios will be considered, in asset or loan format.
