SPONSORED: Bain Capital Real Estate — Necessity-based retail is thriving in active population centers

by Jennifer Babcock

In a sponsored interview published in the November issue of Institutional Real Estate Americas, Martha Kelley, a managing director at Bain Capital Real Estate, and Brian Harper, founder and managing partner of 11North Partners, discussed their strategic partnership to invest in open-air retail real estate. 11North Partners is a retail-focused operating platform that is co-owned by BCRE and Harper and his team. The platform was established primarily to acquire grocery-anchored, necessity-based, open-air retail real estate assets.

“11North Partners is deeply rooted in the communities in which we invest, and we have in-depth knowledge of local dynamics and tenant relationships from more than 25 years of being in this business,” said Harper in the interview. “When you pair that expertise with Bain Capital’s global consumer insights, credit acumen and real estate experience, you get a partnership that is strategically positioned to see ‘around the corners’.”
