WHO WE ARE
Plaza Fiesta, LLC is a newly formed real estate investment platform with a mandate to own and operate a portfolio of daily-needs retail assets in dense, urban markets with a strong Hispanic demographic. Plaza Fiesta is funded by Calzada Capital Partners (www.calzadacap.com), a real estate private equity company with over $10 billion in assets under management. Calzada’s diverse portfolio spans multiple property sectors throughout the Americas and Australia, including industrial, residential, retail, and self-storage.
The principals of Plaza Fiesta have extensive experience building and managing real estate operating companies while generating favorable returns for their investors. In addition, the principals have served at the executive level in real estate groups for two of the most successful grocery chains in the US and Mexico. Our experience approaching retail real estate from the tenant perspective gives us a unique advantage in creating a positive outcome and productive relationship between tenants and owners.
OUR BUSINESS PLAN
The Plaza Fiesta business plan is well-defined and straightforward: generate long-term, stable cash flows from a portfolio of retail assets located in submarkets where there is a dense Hispanic population. Our shopping centers will be the first choice for consumers in our markets. The tenant mix will be carefully curated to reflect the needs of the surrounding community, and our property management will ensure a safe, efficient, and consistent retail experience. Plaza Fiesta’s target demographic holds phenomenal purchasing power, and will respond favorably to thoughtful, best-in-class retailers occupying high quality shopping centers.
Our initial target markets include Southern California, Texas, Denver, and Chicago. Plaza Fiesta will acquire assets throughout the life cycle from land warranting new development, up to stabilized, high-performing retail centers. The Company will focus on grocery-anchored and necessity-based assets with a $5 million minimum investment, but are flexible to proceed outside of those parameters for the right opportunity.
WHY WORK WITH PLAZA FIESTA?
Perhaps the most compelling advantage of working with Plaza Fiesta is our certainty of execution. We are very well capitalized and have the capacity to close transactions without a financing contingency. The investment required for our target asset falls into a range generally larger than individual investors can pay and below minimums established by institutional buyers.
In addition, Plaza Fiesta is a long-term owner, which is crucial when considering significant redevelopment / repositioning transactions. We have the patience and vision to unlock value, offering a sound alternative to sellers and a ‘light at the end of the tunnel’ for tenants desiring an attentive landlord who is aligned for strategic growth.
Plaza Fiesta is also well skilled and specifically geared towards working with retailers who are focused on the Hispanic demographic. We can be a strategic development partner to assist in build to suit programs or targeted acquisitions for the development and roll-out of a programmatic expansion in markets where many investors may be reducing exposure.
