Services Offered
At Royal Empire Realty, we specialize in the sale, lease, and repositioning of commercial and investment real estate across the U.S. Our core focus includes:

Retail & Mall Redevelopment – We represent underperforming malls, shopping centers, and value-add retail assets, helping buyers reposition them through leasing, tenant reconfiguration, or redevelopment, colocation.

Hospitality & Mixed-Use – We work with boutique hotel owners, flagged hospitality groups, and developers to market or acquire operating hotels and shovel-ready hospitality projects nationwide.

Multifamily & Residential Development – From stabilized apartment buildings to entitled land for townhomes or PUDs (Planned Unit Developments), we help clients evaluate, market, and acquire income-generating or ground-up opportunities.

Industrial & Digital Infrastructure – Power-ready shells in existing structures ideal for data centers, GPU clusters, AI training environments, and edge colocation. From small-bay flex industrial to large-scale logistics sites, we work with owner-users and investors to acquire, reposition, or divest high-demand digital infrastructure assets with scalable power, connectivity, and zoning paths.

Business Sales – We also broker operational businesses, including auto-related, service-based, and franchise models. We offer NDA-secured buyer screening, CIM preparation, and full deal management.

We proudly co-broker and welcome buyer-side agents — 50/50 splits on most listings.
