The 1REC platform is a comprehensive resource hub and professional community designed to bring transparency, collaboration, and insights to the world of brick-and-mortar retail real estate. We serve as a directory-driven marketplace where retailers, brokers, landlords, and vendors can access detailed destination data, crowdsourced reviews, and market insights to make more informed decisions.

We’re tackling the industry’s inherent information asymmetry problem by combining user-generated knowledge with expert-curated data. We empower users to explore retail destinations, compare key metrics like rents and trade area demographics, and connect with industry experts for advice or collaboration. 

Additionally, we offer (free) tools such as downloadable templates, crash-course workshops, and AI-powered chatbots to help professionals streamline processes like site selection, expansion planning, and vendor negotiations.

1REC stands out by fostering a collaborative environment where users can trade insights on deals, trends, and challenges in a safe, transparent space, ultimately helping all stakeholders—from brands to brokers—navigate the complex world of retail real estate with confidence.
