CBM Is a Leasing Company Dedicated Exclusively to Retail Shopping Centers in Southern California
Centers Business Management (CBM) works ONLY with retail shopping centers -- more than 4,000 to date — and ONLY with retail shopping centers in and around Los Angeles and Orange County, California. We know every region, sub-region, retail market and neighborhood corner. We not only carefully research but also live and work in the communities in which we specialize.
The retail shopping center is a highly specialized real estate investment. Shopping center performance and value correlate directly with the success of the property's tenants. CBM specializes in courting tenants who add value to your investment. A tenant must contribute to the synergy and draw of the shopping center as a whole, as this increases demand for space in the center and, in turn, the value of the center. CBM will pump up your rent rolls.
Sophisticated investors know it is important to protect their investment by entrusting it to the keen expertise and foresight only a specialist can offer. Our expert team of retail property managers, retail leasing agents, accountants and collection specialists has one goal in mind: increasing the stability and inherent value of each of our clients' retail property investments.

Give Your Retail Shopping Center the Advantage of CBM’s Expertise and Retailing Connections
CBMs leasing program is based on years of effective marketing, data mining and building and nurturing our relationships with landlords, tenants, brokers and other real estate professionals.
After examining the site-specific attributes of the property and its marketplace, we take a four-pronged approach to optimally leasing retail properties:
1) CBM handles all leasing calls professionally and effectively.
- All calls are answered by knowledgeable personnel, not a message center, and immediately responded to. Quick response times are key to effective property management and leasing.
- Caller information is logged by retailer community and other parameters into our MS Outlook contacts database as well as our Bronto mass email database.
2) CBM advertises each property on our interactive website (view our current listings) as well as via LoopNet, CoStar and our mass email campaigns targeted to retail property audiences. Listings and ads include...
- A digital picture of the property.
- A property description and highlights (square footage, parking availability, etc.).
- A site plan detailing the available space(s).
- Demographics and traffic information for the area in which the property is located.
- An interactive property and surrounding area location map.
- Contact information.
3) CBM conducts a systematic market survey.
- Canvassing identifies prospective retailers in expansion or relocation mode.
- Canvassing targets neighborhood business people.
4) CBM uses sophisticated mass email technology and other online marketing avenues to deliver timely information about the property to thousands of prospective tenants and brokers.
- Our extensive mass email contact database delivers information about the property to an entire network of retail real estate professionals.
- CBM also targets businesses that will add to the shopping center's synergy and success.
- We target chain stores with a possible growth interest in the area.
- We target neighborhood tenants possibly interested in relocating.

CBM’s Lease Campaigns Are Site-Specific
There is a reason why Centers Business Management (CBM) is a leading commercial brokerage firm: knowledgeable, individualized attention.
The rapidly increasing amount of retail space available in most areas of Southern California today means you need an aggressive leasing program, one customized to the dynamics of your property.
- CBM tailors each property's leasing program to the specific marketplace and retail center as well as the short-term and long-term goals of the property owner.
- CBM identifies, then highlights, the center's unique attributes and those of the surrounding neighborhood, then targets tenants who, both individually and as a group, will thrive at your center.
- CBM matches tenants with retail spaces for lease that suit the tenant's physical retail needs (basic location, square footage, accessibility, etc.) as well as the tenant's need for an atmosphere that's conducive to attracting viable clientele.
- CBM focuses on the synergy and balance within the shopping center as a whole as well as each section and tenant block.
- CBM maintains a database of national, regional, and local tenants to which it can market properties.
- CBM conducts property-specific, cross-marketing campaigns via direct mail, canvassing, as well as e-mail and fax broadcasting.
- CBM analyzes not only relevant market histories but also current trends in designing its marketing campaigns.
