List of the 300 largest US Retail Property Investors [2025]

Ranking: list of the top 10 retail property investors from the US

Retail property investment in the United States has demonstrated resilience and adaptability, even amid shifting consumer behaviors and economic uncertainties. Necessity-based retail sectors, such as grocery-anchored centers, have shown particular strength, benefiting from consistent consumer demand and limited new supply. As of October 2024, the U.S. retail vacancy rate stood at a historic low of 3.9%, underscoring the sector’s robust performance.

Nuveen Real Estate, a prominent global investment firm, has been actively involved in the acquisition, development, and management of retail and mixed-use spaces since 1985. Their portfolio includes a diverse range of assets across the United States and other regions. In January 2025, Nuveen Real Estate expanded its U.S. retail holdings by acquiring Short Pump Station, a 91,369-square-foot shopping center in the suburbs of Richmond, Virginia. Anchored by Trader Joe’s and featuring tenants like Ulta and Petco, this acquisition aligns with Nuveen’s strategy of investing in high-quality, necessity-based retail properties.
