History
When James C. Bieri, president and CEO of Bieri Company, founded the firm as The Bieri Company in 1976, he envisioned a professional service model that would serve as a unique retail real estate resource; a firm that would leverage keen insights, industry expertise and established professional relationships into a valuable and compelling service profile surpassing all other existing industry options.
The Bieri Company
Over the past three decades, that vision has become reality, and Bieri Company has emerged as a national leader in retail real estate consulting. A full-service retail real estate company with an unmatched range and scope of professional services, the firm provides exclusive tenant services and landlord representation, legal services, and strategic consulting to a host of high-profile professional clients. The Bieri Company's list of satisfied clients includes such familiar names as Gucci, Jos. A. Bank, Yves Saint Laurent, J. Crew, Tommy Hilfiger, Ann Taylor, Viacom, Mark Shale and General Motors.
The Detroit, Michigan-based firm has built its reputation by combining information resources and comprehensive market analysis with specific, personalized strategic counsel that not only provides its clients with the data they need to make informed decisions, but also the processes and expertise needed to execute those decisions in an efficient, effective and timely manner. On a practical level, the firm's work as a tenant representative encompasses everything from site selection and evaluation, to lease negotiation, lease terminations, renewals/relocations and merchandising strategies. For its retail clients, Bieri Company works to consolidate complex networks of data into coherent cohesive solutions, focusing on the essential core components: the right locations, at the best rent.
Bieri Company's extraordinary range of consultative, logistical, deal-making, information-gathering and legal services are supported by a number of established productive relationships with key decision makers within the industry. The firm represents landlords across the country in a wide range of markets; developing tenant portfolios while conceiving and executing strategic merchandising plans. By forging professional relationships on local, regional, national and even global levels, Bieri Company is able to provide retail clients with a comprehensive suite of informed recommendations that utilize store portfolio evaluation and market analysis to deliver inventive and inspired retail real estate strategy solutions from conception to completion.
Bieri Company's intimate understanding of the subtleties and nuances of the real estate process is complemented by the firm's in-house legal arm, Bieri & Ames, which provides valuable counsel to clients in the areas of lease analysis and lease document negotiation. The Martindale-Hubbell rated firm is helmed by Stanley Ames, general counsel of Bieri & Ames, one of the nation's foremost experts on retail real estate and tenant law. This offering of in-house legal services combined with tenant and landlord representation has resulted in a dynamic, personalized approach that not only solves existing problems, but identifies future obstacles before they occur and devises innovative strategic solutions that allows the firm to protect their client's interests throughout each step of the process.
Among the innovative and specialized professional resources available to the firm's clients are the Bieri Market Reports. These exclusive, highly detailed reports provide an in-depth analysis of the top 25 retail markets in the United States, and constitute perhaps the definitive guide to retail real estate decision-making.
