Paul Kang, VP Acquisitions talks with BBJ at ICSC

Paul Kang, Vice President of Acquisitions at Baltimore-based Continental Realty Corporation (CRC), said the lag in retail’s brick and mortar landscape has produced good opportunities to acquire new space. Half of CRC’s 3.5 million square feet of retail space is leased to service companies, like hair and nail salons and grocery stores, making them obsolete to the changing consumer habits of online shopping.

“All this disruption you’re hearing about is good for us,” Kang said, adding CRC is targeting retail purchases in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast U.S. over the coming months. “Our investment criteria for retail real estate has not changed. We’re looking to buy good real estate.”
