Sower Commercial is a premier retail investment partner working hand in hand with our partners throughout the US to deliver value to our investors by underwriting, acquiring and strategically managing each asset owned to maximize cashflows and unlock value. Our Mission is to create value by executing fundamentally sound real estate development, redevelopment or value add projects supported by strong market forces, strong tenant credit and demand, and sound underwriting and downside risk management. Sower's Longview II Fund focuses on open air retail investment. The Wall Street Journal article below sites the strength behind this investment verticle. Indeed, open-air neighborhood shopping centers, often anchored by grocery stores, have been outperforming e-commerce warehouses for nearly two years. With vacancy rates at historic lows and no new construction in sight, landlords and investors are capitalizing on this growing demand. Investors are taking notice with major industry players directly or indirectly entering the space signaling major confidence in open-air retail. With growing interest and rising rents, landlords are poised to benefit from steady, long-term lease increases.

Omni channel retailing is also responsible for the boom with ecommerce and physical stores partnering up. Real estate investment benefits with strong rents and space scarcity.
