Hycel Retail Group offers a comprehensive array of real estate and construction consulting services for expanding retailers. For over forty years, Hycel has developed and managed super-regional shopping centers with a special emphasis on retailer relations. Our expertise is now being offered to the retailer side of the business. Hycel Retail Group complements your business structure. Instead of incurring the substantial expense of in-house real estate and construction departments, retailers may select from Hycel's many areas of expertise. Retailers can capitalize on our extensive experience by outsourcing these tasks to our all-inclusive in-house real estate and construction management departments allowing the retailer to customize store expansion plans. We guide the retailer from site selection through construction. Hycel works specifically for the retailer as if the retailer had its own-in-house staff, allowing the retailer to concentrate on the merchandising side of its business.
