CBM Is a Leasing Company Dedicated Exclusively to Retail Shopping Centers
Centers Business Management (CBM) works ONLY with retail shopping centers -- more than 2,500 to date — and ONLY with retail shopping centers in Southern California. We know every region, sub-region, retail market and neighborhood corner. We not only carefully research but also live and work in the communities in which we specialize.
The retail shopping center is a highly specialized real estate investment. Shopping center performance and value correlate directly with the success of the property's tenants. CBM specializes in courting tenants who add value to your investment. A tenant must contribute to the synergy and draw of the shopping center as a whole, which ultimately increases demand for space in the center and consequently the value of the center. We will pump up your rent rolls.
Sophisticated investors know that it is important to protect their investment by entrusting it to the keen expertise and foresight that only a specialist can offer. Our expert team of asset managers, leasing agents, accountants and collection specialists has one goal in mind: increasing the stability and inherent value of each of our clients' retail property investments.

Give Your Retail Center the Advantage of CBM's Expertise and Retailing Connections
CBMs leasing program is based on years of effective marketing, data mining and building and nurturing our relationships -- with landlords, tenants, brokers and other real estate professionals in title and escrow.
After examining the site-specific attributes of the property and its marketplace, we take a four-pronged approach to optimally leasing the retail properties:
1) CBM handles all leasing calls professionally and effectively.
- Calls are answered by knowledgeable personnel, not a message center, and immediately responded to. Quick response times are key to effective property management and leasing.
- Caller information is logged by retailer community and other parameters into our contacts database.
2) CBM advertises each property on our interactive website (click her to view our current listings). Listings include...
- A digital picture of the property.
- Property description and highlights (square footage, parking availability, etc.).
- A site plan detailing the available space(s).
- Demographics and traffic information for the area in which the property is located.
- Contact information.
3) CBM conducts a systematic market survey.
- Canvassing identifies prospective retailers in expansion or relocation mode.
- Canvassing targets neighborhood business people.
4) CBM uses sophisticated broadcast fax and e-mail technology to deliver timely information about the property to thousands of prospective tenants and brokers.
- The extensive broker list delivers information about the property to an entire network of retail real estate professionals.
- CBM concurrently targets businesses that will add to the shopping center's synergy and success.
- We target chain stores with a possible growth interest in the area.
- We target neighborhood tenants possibly interested in relocating.
- Contact CBM if you would like to be added to our database and thereafter receive notification about pertinent properties.

CBM's Leasing Campaigns Are Site-Specific
There is a reason why Centers Business Management (CBM) is a leading commercial brokerage firm: knowledgeable, individualized attention.
The rapidly increasing amount of retail space available in most areas of Southern California today means you need an aggressive leasing program, one customized to the dynamics of your property.
- CBM tailors each property's leasing program to the specific marketplace and retail center as well as the short-term and long-term goals of the property owner.
- CBM identifies, then highlights, the center's unique attributes and those of the surrounding neighborhood, then targets tenants who, both individually and as a group, will thrive at your center.
- CBM matches tenants with retail spaces for lease that suit the tenant's physical retail needs (basic location, square footage, accessibility, etc.) as well as the tenant's need for an atmosphere that's conducive to attracting viable clientele.
- CBM focuses on the synergy and balance within the shopping center as a whole as well as each section and tenant block.
- CBM maintains a database of national, regional, and local tenants to which it can market properties.
- CBM conducts property-specific, cross-marketing campaigns via direct mail, canvassing, as well as e-mail and fax broadcasting.
- CBM analyzes not only relevant market histories but also current trends in designing its marketing campaigns.
