Founded in 1955, Sleiman Enterprises has evolved into one of the largest privately held retail real estate owners in Florida and the Southeastern United States. Headquartered in Jacksonville, the company operates as a fully integrated real estate developer and manager, specializing in outdoor, open-air shopping centers. Over its 70-year history, Sleiman has grown from a local developer into a regional powerhouse with a portfolio totaling more than 5 million square feet of retail space across Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, and Virginia. The company’s core business strategy centers on acquiring, developing, and managing grocery-anchored neighborhood centers in high-growth markets. This focus reflects a conservative yet opportunistic investment approach, prioritizing assets with strong demographic fundamentals and long-term tenant stability. Sleiman’s asset class concentration is primarily retail, with a mix of grocery, big-box, and community shopping centers. Recent acquisitions underscore this strategy, including Publix-anchored centers in Palm Beach County. Top market exposure includes Jacksonville, Orlando, and South Florida, with significant holdings in Northeast Florida. Tenant mix is anchored by national retailers such as Publix, Target, Hobby Lobby, and Walgreens, providing resilience. Sleiman positions itself strategically as a regional expert with deep local relationships, enabling competitive advantages in site selection and development. Its hands-on, entrepreneurial culture and integrated services from acquisition to construction support operational efficiency and portfolio growth.
