A Contrarian’s Vindication: Why Grocery-Anchored Retail is Entering a 7-Year Rental Growth Super Cycle

Brian Kosoy Interview on The Distribution Podcast with Juniper Square

We’re proud to share a recent podcast featuring our CEO, Brian Kosoy, in conversation with Juniper Square’s Brandon Sedloff, discussing Sterling Organization’s approach to building a vertically integrated retail platform and navigating one of the most dynamic periods in the shopping center sector.

From launching the business in 2007 at the onset of the financial crisis to scaling a national platform focused exclusively on retail, Brian reflects on the lessons learned through multiple market cycles—and why disciplined focus, operational strength, and strong tenant relationships continue to matter.

The conversation also explores why grocery-anchored and necessity-based retail is seeing renewed momentum, driven by favorable supply-demand dynamics and evolving consumer behavior.

🎧 Listen to the full conversation to hear more about our perspective on the future of retail real estate and what lies ahead.
