We’re in a Once in a Lifetime Opportunity
Investing in malls presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capitalize on high-quality assets that were previously inaccessible to investors. With the current economic climate, these assets are now available at their lowest values.

Historic Low Valuations
According to recent market data, enclosed mall property valuations are at a historic low. In the third quarter of 2021, mall valuations were down by 47% compared to the same period in 2016. However, for investors, this presents a unique opportunity to acquire these assets at a discounted rate and capitalize on their potential for redevelopment and repositioning.
