67,400 SF Retail Shopping Center

Comprehensive leasing strategy for a multi-tenant retail shopping center targeting credit-worthy outparcel QSR and maximizing long-term asset value.

Outparcel Sale: Zaxby's

Represented ownership in the sale of the outparcel and successfully brought Zaxby's to the city of Kannapolis, adding a national QSR brand and significantly increasing the shopping center's overall value.

International Expansion Advisory

Guided U.S.-based Rely Workforce Group through full international expansion into El Salvador, including market tours, stakeholder meetings, lease negotiations, and a private meeting with the Vice President of El Salvador. Rely Workforce Group represents 8+ deals and is a core legacy client, not just a client, but family. Jaben has traveled with the CEO, spent time with his family, and celebrated special events, New Year's, and everything in between. It is a true joy to go beyond the deal and develop genuine, meaningful relationships with those we serve.

200,000 SF Shopping Center

Executed landlord representation for a shopping center that needed to be filled up. We secured multiple tenants and contributed to the value of the center. When Morganton flooded, we launched a creative relocation campaign in partnership with The City Home, targeting businesses displaced from flood-damaged centers and offering them a fresh start. The campaign earned newspaper coverage and the support of the city.

68,000 SF Multi-Tenant Industrial Portfolio

Represented ownership in re-leasing vacant spaces to stabilize the portfolio. We were also able to help a tenant with a large unit sublet some of their space to offset their costs and put them in a more healthy position, allowing them to flourish for years to come.

40,000 SF Multi-Tenant Industrial Portfolio

We were able to fill up this complex with tenants at market rate, securing long-term leases in a historically challenging location that was very hard to reposition, adding millions of dollars of value to the center, which resulted in a successful sale for our client for over $5 million. The commitment to this client went beyond the deal: Jaben flew to Manhattan to meet for lunch and flew back home the same day.

42,600 SF Former Belk Department Store, Downtown Salisbury

The iconic former Belk Department Store in the heart of downtown Salisbury, a three-story retail asset with real character. Our client purchased at auction and trusted us to help them exit profitably. We structured an all-cash, creative deal that delivered exactly that. They have been wonderful to work with, and it was a genuine joy to serve them and celebrate a successful outcome together.

31,000 SF Industrial Former Manufacturing Plant on 60 Acres

Successfully leased up a multi-tenant industrial facility for our client who purchased this building. We had previously relocated him from another building we sold him years ago, leased that up and stabilized it, then moved him here. He occupied a small portion of the space in the back while we filled the rest of the complex to create income for him. We then helped him sell off subdivided land for a self-storage development, and are completing our assignment by selling off the remaining land on the other side of the property.

Land Sale: Subdivided Industrial Acreage

Subdivided and sold land adjacent to our client's industrial facility to a self-storage developer, unlocking significant value from underutilized acreage. A true full-cycle advisory engagement, from building acquisition and leasing to land disposition and beyond.

31,000 SF Industrial Acquisition

Represented an investor in the acquisition of a 31,000 SF multi-tenant industrial facility, conducting thorough due diligence and negotiating favorable purchase terms.

28,000 SF Multi-Tenant Industrial Portfolio

This is one of our legacy clients. We love serving this family. We have overseen and leased their real estate portfolio for years, maintaining full occupancies, very low turnover, and quick turnaround times. We have helped maximize their returns without gouging tenants, providing a quality business park for our community to thrive in.

22,600 SF Industrial Sale-Leaseback

We executed the structured sale of an owner-occupied industrial facility by arranging a triple-net sale-leaseback. We identified an investor who purchased the building, freeing up significant liquidity for our client. They were able to restructure debt and continue operating their business without the burden, a true win-win for both the investor and our client.

21,900 SF Multi-Tenant Investment Property

We represented the ownership investment group in the disposition of a well-known asset on Highway 29. We stabilized the property, oversaw interior renovations, and executed more than a dozen new leases, more than doubling revenues. We sold to a 1031 buyer from Nashville who paid cash and continues to run the property today. They kept us on as the leasing brokers, so we continued to serve the asset long after closing.

21,900 SF Multi-Tenant Investment Property

We represented the ownership group that purchased 700 N Cannon Blvd as a value-add deal. Jaben was personally involved in raising capital, underwriting the deal, and the lease-up process, and personally managed the property himself for a year to deeply understand the asset and its debt before bringing on management and positioning it as a passive investment. The property was held for four years, and even as interest rates doubled during that period, the ownership group exited for a profit. Jaben continues to serve the new owner as the leasing representative.

21,900 SF Multi-Tenant Investment Property

Jaben evicted problem tenants, signed over a dozen new leases, and personally managed the property on behalf of the ownership group to fully understand it in depth, then passed it off to a great third-party manager. We secured great tenants, got rid of the bad ones, and left the property in much better condition than we found it. That is truly rewarding.

8,400 SF Industrial Single-Tenant

We represented the seller in the disposition of a long-held asset that he personally occupied for many years while running a successful business. We helped the owner execute a smooth transaction with strong pricing, one that allowed him to comfortably retire.

7,700 SF Flex / Showroom Headquarters

We represented an international corporation from Spain, the largest cosmetic supplier in Latin America, as they entered the North Carolina market. We helped them transition from leasing a small space in Concord to purchasing a full headquarters in Charlotte. They built out the space and now host trainings and events for their retail beauty suppliers, bringing people from across the country and around the world to showcase new products. We guided them through the entire U.S. purchase process and connected them with architects, engineers, and contractors to handle the buildout.

6,300 SF Industrial Property

Executed the disposition of a China Grove industrial property, identifying qualified buyers and delivering a clean close for ownership. This was the red-headed stepchild of the portfolio; our client owned many properties, but this one sat far from the rest. We helped him wind it down so he could retain assets localized to where he lives and operates. We were also able to identify a buyer who would purchase the building and keep the existing tenant in place, so the business that had been operating there would not be displaced. It was truly a win-win for everyone.

5,500 SF Industrial Property

We represented a family who inherited a property and navigated the complexities of a mishandled estate, successfully closing after months of due diligence and back-and-forth with the buyer. The sale provided a great new home for a growing company in the area and happy family members who received a great price for their inherited asset, at a stepped-up basis, meaning no taxes to be paid. A true win for everyone involved.

5,000 SF Industrial Property

We met this seller through a cold call, took him to lunch, and had a listing agreement signed the next day. From signing to close: 45 days. This became the highest price-per-square-foot sale in the park at the time; we broke a record. We identified an owner-user buyer who is thriving there today. We also negotiated a creative seller-finance arrangement with large monthly payments that helped ease the tax implications of a substantial profit. Everyone closed with a smile. A true win-win for all.

3,990 SF Industrial Property

Our Salisbury landlord client purchased this building, renovated it, and brought us in to lease it up. We identified a tenant that was outgrowing their space at Sprinkler Drive Business Park and relocated them here into their own single-tenant facility with plenty of room for their fleet. A great lease, a happy tenant, a happy landlord. Everybody wins.

3,990 SF Industrial Property

We represented a very old gentleman and his wife who were aging out of ownership. They had been renting the building for almost less than what it cost to maintain. We secured a great price that allowed them to retire comfortably and relieve the headache of managing a tenant. The buyer, our Salisbury client, purchased this building, renovated it, and moved in himself. We then identified the 31,000 SF building in Salisbury for him, he purchased that, moved his operation there, and we quickly leased up this building behind him. He now has a fully occupied, cash-flowing portfolio and left every property better than he found it.

45,000 SF Multi-Tenant Industrial Portfolio, I-85 Corridor

We helped a client who inherited the responsibility of a large real estate portfolio to lease up a bundle of 5,000 SF industrial buildings along I-85 across the border into South Carolina. We used creative marketing strategies to target contractors working on large development projects nearby, securing new tenants and stabilizing cash flow for the portfolio. The long-term play here is most likely a covered land play. With over 40 acres, the highest and best use of this land is redevelopment. Until sewer and the proper utilities are secured to unlock the site's full potential, our goal is to maximize cash flows today while working on the long-term plan to position this asset for its highest and best use.

13,770 SF Office / Industrial Property

We were hired by a very well-known nonprofit in Charlotte to identify a new facility in Cabarrus County. We searched for off-market opportunities; this building was never listed. We got in contact with the owner, made an offer, and closed the deal. The nonprofit performed a substantial upfit on the office portion and has been operating their satellite facility there ever since. It was great timing for the owner who had been thinking about selling, and we negotiated a win-win for both parties.

13,770 SF Office / Industrial Property

10,079 SF Office Acquisition: Financial Services Company

We were retained by a financial services company to negotiate and close on a building next door to them, tying together their corner and creating continuity across three parcels. This deal also facilitated a massive expansion from their original 1,600 SF office into over 10,000 SF. They conducted a rigorous renovation and have retained us to lease up the overflow space downstairs to offset their monthly carry, and to release their original corner office to a quality tenant for additional cash flow. This was a former church that was closing down. We were able to acquire the building at a healthy basis, giving the client the room to complete necessary repairs and renovations without going over budget. A great win all around.
