TREND SHOPPING CENTERS

TREND identifies, evaluates, acquires, and improves service-oriented community shopping centers in select urban neighborhoods. TREND also assembles teams of Black professionals to manage the properties; creates opportunities for Black-owned businesses to lease storefronts; and structures the deals to enable Black entrepreneurs, community members and other small impact investors to invest and financially benefit as owners of the shopping centers.

TREND currently owns 5 urban shopping centers and has invested $30 million in Chicago, IL and Baltimore, MD with a near-term goal to acquire up to 16 properties and help up to 1,000 Black, local, and small impact investors to own as much as 49% of this commercial real estate portfolio.
