The Iberic portfolio spans Florida's strongest retail corridors — from South Florida to Central Florida to the Gulf Coast. Every asset is held long-term and actively managed in-house. We look for dominant, high-frontage, community-anchored retail in markets we know well.
Every center
we acquire, we
intend to still own
in twenty years.
We underwrite on a thirty-year horizon. The centers we bought first are still the centers we own. The exit plan, broadly, is not to exit.
Every center is owned directly and run by our own leasing, construction, and property-management teams. No third-party managers, no outsourced asset managers, no layers between us and the asset.
We work with strong local and regional operators and build each rent roll around them. The ambition is simple enough: tenants should compete to get in, and the neighborhood should plan its Saturdays around the block.
Every acquisition is a multi-year project. We put in the capital, the leasing work, and the tenant curation needed to make each center the clearest retail choice in its trade area — and we stay long enough to see it through.
Iberic is backed by a closed group of long-standing partners. No funds, no outside investors, no quarterly calls — which is precisely what lets us underwrite in decades rather than quarters.
Every shopping center we own, from the flagship on Royal Palm Beach Boulevard to the covered plaza on State Road 7. Leasing plans and current availabilities are shared directly with qualified operators.
Small team.
Serious tools.
The firm stays small on purpose. Every leasing, construction, and analysis decision is made by people who have been doing this for a long time — and who are backed by an underwriting toolkit most small private owners simply do not have.
Leasing, construction, compliance, and accounting are run by people who have spent years — in several cases, decades — inside this portfolio. Institutional memory is an underrated advantage in community retail.
Every acquisition and every material renewal is run through a proprietary underwriting model: granular trade-area demographics, mobility and foot-traffic data, tenant-sales benchmarking, and a decades-long view on comparable centers. The quiet edge.
The Florida practice is grounded in real estate work across Europe, Latin America, and the United States. Different markets, different cycles, same lessons — most of them about what not to do.
Our own crew walks every property every day. Landscaping, signage, lighting, parking stripes, tenant storefronts — the small things that quietly decide whether a center feels taken care of or tired. We decided long ago that they were not small.
Occasional writing on community retail, trade-area analysis, tenant curation, and the quiet work of keeping a center in good shape. Published when there is something worth saying — not before.
Trip frequency, the halo effect, and the Publix math: why grocery-anchored community retail is the most durable slice of the asset class.
Building visit-weighted trade areas from mobility data — and what it changes in rent projections and competitive exposure.

Most community shopping centers are over-parked by 30–40%. The excess asphalt is an undeveloped land bank hiding in plain sight.

After Hurricane Ian, Florida commercial insurance premiums became the single largest variable in retail underwriting.
