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 research platform and 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 a trained “AI Support Team” to help professionals streamline processes like site selection, expansion planning, and vendor negotiations.

Our objective: help operators get from insight to action — faster and more intelligently.
