Scarborough Commercial Real Estate helps retailers, restaurant operators, service businesses and franchisees find and lease retail space in Tyler, Texas and the surrounding East Texas markets. We also represent shopping center owners and single-tenant landlords who need the right tenant for their space. Led by Sam Scarborough, CCIM, our team works both sides of retail deals every week, so we know which centers have availability, what rents are actually being signed, and which locations fit which concepts.
Tenants: restaurants, medical and dental, fitness, salons and spas, boutiques, cellular and service retailers, and regional or national brands entering East Texas. We handle site selection, tours, letter of intent, lease negotiation and the coordination through opening.
Landlords: owners of shopping centers, strip centers, pad sites and freestanding retail buildings. We market the space, qualify prospects, negotiate on your behalf and manage the lease through signature.
Buyers and sellers: investors buying or selling retail properties, from single-tenant net lease buildings to multi-tenant centers.
Tyler's retail activity centers on the South Broadway corridor from Loop 323 south past Grande Boulevard, the Broadway Square and Village at Cumberland Park area, the Loop 323 ring, and the growing corridors along Old Jacksonville Highway and Highway 110 toward Whitehouse. Downtown Tyler continues to attract restaurants and local retailers. Outside Tyler, we actively work retail in Longview, Lindale, Whitehouse, Bullard, Jacksonville and Kilgore, and we handle retail assignments in the Dallas-Fort Worth market for clients expanding in either direction.
In most tenant representation deals, the landlord pays our fee, so there is no cost to the tenant for our representation.
