Retail Lease Trac

What Retail Lease Trac does

Retail Lease Trac is a privately held SaaS company that operates a subscription-based online database of currently expanding retail chains, used by commercial real estate professionals to fill retail vacancies. The company was founded in 1984 and is operated as Retail Lease Trac Inc., headquartered at a PO Box in Dahlonega, Georgia. Its customers are primarily commercial real estate brokers and firms, economic development councils, shopping center owners, real estate investors, developers, and REITs, with named users including NAI Capital, CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, Weingarten Realty, EWM Realty, and Katz & Associates.

The core product is the Retail Tenant Database, supported by three functional modules: a Search module that filters expanding retailers by category, square footage, US state or Canadian province, and building type; an Export module that pushes results to PDF, spreadsheet, CRM, or email-marketing tools; and a Broadcasting module that allows users to send email campaigns directly to lists of expanding retailers. The database is refreshed on a 120-day cycle, with a dedicated in-house research team verifying contact information, expansion plans, and required demographics by reaching out directly to retailer real estate contacts. The platform is available in the US and Canada only.

Retail Lease Trac monetizes via annual subscriptions priced by geographic coverage: US packages range from $1,125/year for 1 state to $4,100/year for all 50 states, and Canadian packages range from $500/year for 1 province to $2,000/year for full national coverage, with up to 3 licensed users per office. Renewals are invoiced 3 months before expiry with no automatic renewal. Distribution is hybrid: a self-serve product-led funnel with a 3-day no-credit-card free trial, complemented by an inside-sales team with two regional representatives (Chase Stone for Western/Central US and Canada, Tina Fuller for Eastern US), plus trade-show promotional plans and live chat/phone support.
