Our History

Pacific Retail Partners was formed by Joe Meyer and Allen Ginsborg in 1993 to help major retailers and property owners address the new challenges and increased complexity of selecting and building retail real estate in the Western United States. Mike Jensen joined PRP in 1997 to own and operate the Long Beach Office.

Clients represented include:  Home Depot, EXPO Design Center, Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market (TESCO), Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI), In-N-Out Burger, Golf Galaxy, Pharmaca Integrative Pharmacy, Sav-U-Foods, Candlewood Hotels, Wild Oats, Henry’s Marketplace, Nordstrom Rack, PETsMart, Kragen Auto Parts, Circuit City, ULTA, Walgreens, Pacific Theatres, Harkins Theatres, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank, McDonald’s, Men’s Wearhouse, CVS/pharmacy, Sprouts Farmers Market, Rite Aid, and Dicks Sporting Goods.

2008 marks the 15th anniversary of Pacific Retail Partners. PRP has completed more than 1,000 lease transactions with more than $1,000,000,000 in consideration, rolled out two dozen major retailer’s real estate programs in the western US, and assisted dozens of developers and land owners in “Creating real estate value.”

Major Retailers
In the 1990's, reductions in new project development and in the staff levels of corporate real estate departments created an opportunity for smaller, aggressive commercial real estate companies that place a premium on innovative solutions to difficult problems without compromising personal service. Combining over 60 years of real estate experience, Joe Meyer, Allen Ginsborg and Michael Jensen joined forces in order to efficiently deliver their expertise to value-oriented retailers in competitive and challenging markets.

Property Owners
In addition to the retailer's challenging environment, commercial property owners have had to face dynamic market influences and values. The progressively more challenging entitlement and environmental review standards  have complicated and extended the development process. Tenant mix, site planning, security, reciprocal documents and lease structure are crucial to developing a financeable and saleable asset.

PRP provides a creative and focused answer to these new market dynamics. The partnership has excelled in this unpredictable market where retailers and owners demand more skill and service than ever before. Aggressiveness and local market information are no longer enough. Pacific Retail Partners has created a new concept of real estate consulting, developing and brokerage, while maintaining fees comparable to more traditional commercial real estate companies.
