QUADRANT RETAIL PARTNERS

AUSTIN · DALLAS–FORT WORTH · HOUSTON · SAN ANTONIO

Retail acquisitions and development, positioned ahead of the largest capex wave in Texas history.

Quadrant Retail Partners acquires, develops, and holds retail in named growth corridors across the four major Texas metros, before payroll, rooftops, and rents reprice the trade area. The quadrangle is the core of the strategy. When the same catalysts appear beyond it, we follow the growth.

01 / INVESTMENT THESIS

The thesis is a timing gap.

FORCE ONE

Committed capex

Tesla’s Giga Texas. An 11M SF SpaceX campus in Bastrop, with Boring Co. and Starlink beside it. Terafab at $20–25B. Samsung Taylor. Google’s $40B Texas commitment. Semiconductor fabs, space and aerospace, advanced manufacturing, energy and digital infrastructure: ~$75B in registered construction filings across verticals. The capital is committed; the ground is already broken.

FORCE TWO

The payroll lag

Demand arrives 24–48 months behind the announcement. Retail spending in a corridor peaks years after the groundbreaking photo, which is precisely when assets bought earlier stabilize.

FORCE THREE

Fixed supply

Retail deliveries sit at record lows across all four metros, with vacancy in the low-to-mid single digits and near-zero new construction. Rents are already rising, and there is no slack to absorb the wave.

UNDERWRITING DISCIPLINE

Quadrant does not underwrite permanent retail demand from data center construction headcount: thousands of workers during construction, only 150–300 permanent. Only manufacturing payroll, permanent operating employment, and delivered rooftops count in the base case.

02 / STRATEGIES

One thesis. Three sleeves.

SLEEVE I 18–30 MO CYCLES

Pad Development

Single-tenant net-lease pads on hard corners in target corridors: entitled early, delivered into arriving payroll, exited to the deepest buyer pool in retail.

YIELD ON COST~7.5–8.5% UNTRENDED
EXIT1031 / NET-LEASE MARKET
LP EQUITY$2–8M PER DEAL
SLEEVE II 3–7 YR HOLDS

Pre-Repricing Value-Add

B-quality operations in A-quality locations, acquired below replacement cost 12–24 months ahead of payroll delivery, stabilized as the corridor reprices.

TARGETMID-TEENS NET LP IRR
MULTIPLE~1.7–2.0x NET
LP EQUITY$10–20M PER DEAL

Long-Term Hold

Grocery-anchored and dominant daily-needs centers held through the full corridor maturation, refinanced at stabilization, compounding a growing cash yield.

Capital partners elect exposure transaction by transaction, never through a blind pool.

03 / TARGET MAP

The corridor map is the sourcing discipline.

Quadrant does not buy “Texas retail.” It buys named, under-represented growth corridors where a capital-expenditure catalyst, rooftop velocity, and constrained supply intersect. Choose a metro to zoom in; select a corridor to see the rationale.

BEYOND THE QUADRANGLE

The quadrangle is a focus, not a fence.

The four-metro core is where Quadrant concentrates its sourcing, relationships, and underwriting. But the thesis follows catalysts, not county lines. When an opportunity outside the quadrangle (El Paso, a border-trade corridor, an emerging manufacturing hub) presents the same growth profile, Quadrant will pursue it with the same discipline. The bar is higher, not different: every criterion below must be met, not most.

01 NAMED CAPEX CATALYST: committed, registered construction dollars, not speculation
02 PERMANENT PAYROLL: operating employment, not construction headcount
03 CONSTRAINED SUPPLY: single-digit vacancy and near-zero new deliveries
04 ROOFTOP VELOCITY: measurable household growth already underway
05 BASIS DISCIPLINE: below replacement cost, defensible from day one

Representative target corridors as of July 2026. Opportunities outside the quadrangle are evaluated case by case against the criteria above. The corridor map is maintained continuously; submarket-level underwriting detail is available to prospective capital partners in diligence.

Payroll follows capex.
Retail follows payroll.
We are already there.

04 / EXECUTION

The edge is execution.

Buy below replacement value in core trade areas. Improve and re-lease through proven relationships. Deliver space built exactly for the targeted tenant.

EDGE ONE / BASIS

Below replacement value

Quadrant buys core trade-area retail below what it would cost to build next door: established corners with fixable vacancy, in markets where supply sits at historic lows and rents are already rising. The basis defends itself.

EDGE TWO / RELATIONSHIPS

Improve and re-lease

The partners’ operating background and tenant relationships (hundreds of leases negotiated, executions with national credit brands) convert under-managed centers into stabilized, re-leased assets.

EDGE THREE / DELIVERY

Exclusive execution partnerships

Exclusive relationships with brokers and construction partners let Quadrant source off-market and deliver space built exactly to a targeted tenant’s specification: build-to-suit precision at operator speed.

05 / PARTNERS

Operating depth. Capital markets discipline.
