Legacy. Strategy. Evolution. In this episode, I sit down with Jeffrey Rosenberg, President & CEO of Big V Property Group, to explore the pivotal lessons from over 80 years in the commercial real estate industry.

What started with a corner grocery store in the 1940s is now a 50+ center, 14-state retail portfolio—anchored by some of the biggest names in the game. Jeffrey shares what it takes to not only survive but thrive in big box retail—and why the smartest operators are leaning into omnichannel models, data, and long-term thinking.

We also get into:
✅ Why Big V shifted from supermarkets to big box retail
✅ The untold story of how e-commerce is helping brick-and-mortar
✅ What 97% occupancy actually says about the market
✅ How COVID revealed the true values of major national tenants
✅ Why retail is still a social experience—and always will be
✅ Lessons passed down from a 6th-grade-educated grandfather who built an empire
✅ Why legacy is more than ownership—it’s stewardship

Whether you're deeply involved in retail, commercial real estate investment, or simply enjoy stories of perseverance and strategic innovation, this episode offers actionable insights and inspiration.
