What Acre does

ACRE Investment Company, LLC is a private, Northern California-based commercial and retail real estate investment firm that acquires, develops, and manages shopping centers and commercial properties on behalf of institutional investors and family offices. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Pleasanton, ACRE pursues opportunities nationwide, with its current deal flow heavily concentrated in grocery-anchored and fitness-anchored retail in the Chicago MSA and northern Indiana. The firm operates a full in-house platform covering acquisitions, entitlements, credit underwriting of national anchor tenants, asset management, and construction management, supported by third-party property management and accounting vendors in each local market.

ACRE's portfolio is leased to a broad roster of national credit tenants, including Kroger, Safeway/Albertsons, Starbucks, Chipotle, KFC, Taco Bell, Wendy's, 24 Hour Fitness, LA Fitness, VASA Fitness, PNC, Chase, Kohl's, Dick's Sporting Goods, Floor & Decor, Harbor Freight, Olive Garden, FedEx, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Fresenius Kidney Care, among others. The firm differentiates through deep, long-tenured relationships in the commercial real estate brokerage community (notably with Colliers International alumni) and a programmatic capability in site acquisition, build-out, and tenant-specific leasing structures, including flexible capital funding, rent abatement, and rapid site procurement.

The firm's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, sourcing off-market and broker-listed deals through its professional network and marketing to institutional investors and family offices via its corporate website and a dedicated investor portal. Pricing is negotiated on a per-transaction basis and is not publicly disclosed. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and ACRE operates without a public ticker, institutional parent, or disclosed funding rounds.
