Balboa Park, San Diego
Retail leasing & placemaking advisory

Retail that makes a place worth visiting.

Leasing, tenant strategy, and placemaking advisory for landmark waterfront, mixed-use, and high-street assets.

The firm

Camino Retail Partners advises owners of destination retail — the waterfront, mixed-use, and high-street properties where the right tenant mix is the difference between square footage and a place people return to. We also guide national and emerging retail brands on site selection and expansion strategy. Senior attention on both sides of the table, and the judgment to know which tenants belong where.

Balboa Park, San Diego
Who we work with

Built for landmark retail.

Institutional landlords. Developers. Public agencies. National and emerging retail brands.

When a property is one of a kind, the tenant mix is not a leasing exercise. It is the difference between a building and a destination.

Our approach

We think like retailers, because we have been.

Most brokers have only ever sat on one side of the table. Our principal built and ran a multi-merchant retail concept before spending a career leasing and repositioning destination properties nationally. That operator's perspective changes the work: we read a property the way a retailer reads a location, we know which brands will actually perform in a given space, and we curate a mix that holds up after the ribbon is cut, not just one that fills it.
