Grocery-Anchored Center
A multi-tenant retail center anchored by a grocery store on a long-dated lease, with inline tenants (typically restaurants, services, small specialty retail) surrounding the anchor. Grocery-anchored centers have historically been the most defensive subcategory of retail real estate because grocery is a weekly-trip purchase with very high frequency, immune to ecommerce in a way that apparel, electronics, and most general merchandise are not. Cap rates for grocery-anchored centers typically trade meaningfully below other retail subcategories reflecting the defensive profile.
