What Kohan Retail Investment Group, LLC does

Kohan Retail Investment Group, LLC (KRIG) is a privately held commercial real estate investment company headquartered in Great Neck, New York, focused on acquiring, owning, managing, leasing and repositioning retail and office properties across the United States. Founded in 2016 and led by Founder and Principal Mike Kohan, the company operates a national portfolio spanning 30+ regional malls and shopping centers across 14 states plus 7+ office buildings concentrated in Chicago and Manhattan, including trophy assets such as 311 South Wacker Drive (a 65-story Chicago skyscraper), 345 Seventh Avenue in Midtown Manhattan and 131 South Dearborn. Notable retail holdings include Pecanland Mall in Monroe, Louisiana (964,123 SF), Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn, Michigan (125+ stores) and The Mall at Robinson near Pittsburgh, anchored by national retailers including Macy's, JCPenney, Belk, Dillard's, Dick's Sporting Goods and Von Maur.

KRIG's business model centers on rental income from retail and office tenants, supplemented by property management fees, leasing commissions and specialty/pop-up leasing revenue. The company acquires assets — often via joint-venture partnerships with investors Alan Assil, Kevin Assil, Katan Group and Ilya Mikhailov — and operates them through a centralized leasing team and broker network, with distribution via direct leasing teams, property-specific websites, LoopNet listings and annual presence at ICSC Las Vegas. In May 2026 KRIG launched the 'Ready for What's Next' portfolio-wide stabilization strategy built on three pillars: Operational Reliability, Leasing with Purpose and Community Confidence, reflecting an explicit pivot toward intentional tenant curation (national retailers alongside experiential, medical, service and local-operator concepts) rather than pure scale. The company has no public listing, no disclosed institutional investors, and growth has been funded through acquisition partnerships rather than traditional equity rounds.
