Real strategy. Lasting impact.
From iconic streets to emerging markets, we help brands and owners unlock the right opportunities and create places that thrive.
MAIN LINE
PENNSYLVANIA
The 1916 Company
Repositioning a Main Line asset with a celebrated flagship tenant.
Representing ownership of 102 E Montgomery Avenue, Square led the repositioning of a 7,500 SF asset to attract a high-caliber tenant seeking a visible, long-term flagship presence along the Main Line.
With a strong understanding of both the corridor and luxury retail landscape, Square identified Govberg Jewelers—now The 1916 Company—as an ideal strategic fit.
Square guided lease negotiations and deal structuring to align ownership objectives with the tenant’s brand ambitions, facilitating a seamless transition from Suburban Square into a more prominent standalone setting.
The result was a successful repositioning that enhanced both the value of the asset and the strength of the broader retail corridor.
PHILADELPHIA
PENNSYLVANIA
Rittenhouse Row / Walnut Street
Helping shape one of Philadelphia’s most dynamic retail corridors.
Square advises landlords and ownership groups throughout Walnut Street and Rittenhouse Row on leasing strategy, merchandising, positioning, and tenant mix.
With real-time insight into retailer demand, market rents, and competitive activity, Square helps ownership attract best-in-class and first-to-market brands while balancing broader placemaking goals around energy, walkability, and long-term relevance.
The result is sustained leasing momentum, reduced vacancy, and continued evolution of one of the region’s premier shopping and dining districts.
PHILADELPHIA
& SURROUNDING
MARKETS
CAVA
Strategic growth for a category-leading brand.
Square has supported CAVA’s continued expansion throughout the Philadelphia MSA through a disciplined, strategic approach to site selection and market planning.
Acting as an extension of CAVA’s internal real estate team, Square curates opportunities aligned with the brand’s operational priorities, format flexibility, and long-term growth strategy—far beyond simply forwarding site opportunities.
Through deep landlord and developer relationships, Square identifies both on-market and off-market opportunities that create competitive advantage in increasingly constrained retail environments.
The result is a consistent pipeline of viable sites and a thoughtful expansion strategy designed for long-term success.
