RealMarq is a small, privately held, real estate services company founded in 1988. In the 1980s the usual process of getting a commercial retail project from site identification to open store was accomplished by corporate in-house employees. Times were changing. Retail expansion goals were increasing. Government entitlements, i.e. planning, zoning and permitting, were becoming more complex.
RealMarq was founded to assist retailers in accomplishing their expansion goals. The bucket of services included: market studies, site selection, lease and or purchase negotiations, entitlements, and project/construction management. The flexibility of RealMarq allows it to gear its quantity and quality of services to meet the specific clients needs.
Prior to the founding of RealMarq, its principals were involved in the development of numerous A & P Plus Grocery Stores, Fotomats, Franks Nursery and Crafts, Wendys Restaurants, Jiffy Lubes and Best Products Stores.
Since 1988, RealMarq Corporation and its affiliates have been involved in the development of over one hundred Rite Aid stores, ten Checkers Restaurants, five Advance Auto stores, three Auto Zone stores, five McDonald restaurants, two BP service stations, plus two strip shopping centers. Other individual developments were competed for Sun Oil, BP Oil, PNC Bank and First Bank – NJ.
From a pure construction management / general contracting standpoint, RealMarq Corporation and Oberon Construction Company have constructed over thirty Rite Aid stores. Sixteen of those stores were developed as a build-to-suit owner. The Rite Aid projects averaged $800,000 cost in the initial years, going to the present, $4,000,000.
In the twenty-first century, RealMarq continues to adapt to the changing development environment, while always providing the utmost of personal service to its clients.
