January 2026 Newsletter

2025 marked the busiest and most successful year in Criterion’s history, and the numbers tell the story.

Over the course of the year, Criterion:

  • Acquired 10 shopping centers across six states

  • Added 577,905 square feet of retail to the portfolio

  • Closed on three development projects, including one that was started and completed within the year

  • Surpassed $70 million in total value completed

That level of growth was made possible by disciplined execution, a focus on necessity-based retail, and the trust of our investor base, including more than 75 new investors who participated in their first Criterion deal in 2025.

What’s Inside the January Newsletter

Our January newsletter expands on these milestones and provides insight into the broader retail real estate landscape as we head into 2026. Inside, we cover:

  • How retail spending finished the year and what it signals for the year ahead

  • Why well-located, service-oriented retail continues to show resilience

  • Investor appetite for retail heading into 2026

  • Full portfolio updates and active development highlights

If you want a clearer picture of how Criterion navigated a challenging market while continuing to grow, the January newsletter offers a concise, data-driven look at what worked and why.
