THE SHOPPING CENTER GROUP ACQUIRES SOUTHEAST RETAIL GROUP, RELOCATES ITS ORLANDO OFFICE

Acquisition poises TSCG for expansion throughout Florida

 

ATLANTAThe Shopping Center Group (TSCG) announces today the acquisition of one of Florida’s top retail brokerage firms, Southeast Retail Group (SRG), continuing TSCG’S strategic expansion within one of the country’s fastest growing states in the industry.

With the acquisition, Atlanta-based TSCG not only grows with 12 new team members, but also bolsters its tenant representation service line with 50 plus new retail and restaurant clients, expands its third-party leasing by approximately 7.5 million square feet and increases property management by an additional 400,000 square feet. Complementing this new growth is a new office space, as well – TSCG is relocating its Orlando workspace to the beautiful Winter Park community at 558 West New England Ave.

“We are delighted to bring together two culturally matched and operationally compatible firms,” says David Birnbrey, co-CEO of TSCG. “This will result in an even more formidable, full-service real estate enterprise that stretches from Florida’s southernmost beach to the financial and cultural epicenter of the United States – New York City. Our Florida operation has grown exponentially with the addition of the amazing team from SRG, and we now have an office that reflects the excitement of that growth.”

The new 3,127 square-foot offices are in close proximity to several retail and restaurant destinations and deliver a more central location for both clients and team members, as three SRG teammates join the existing TSCG office. You can find photos of the new space HERE.

Established in 2016, SRG is a real estate services firm specializing in exclusive tenant and landlord representation in urban and suburban retail markets in West, Central and South Florida.
