SMJ Legacy is a Nashville-based real estate investment and development firm focused on value-add retail and mixed-use projects primarily across the Southeast and Midwest.
We specialize in acquiring, repositioning, and optimizing underutilized retail and mixed-use properties through creative structuring, strong tenant relationships, and long-term value creation.
SMJ Legacy is committed to transforming overlooked real estate into thriving community assets — driving lasting value through strategic investment, thoughtful execution, and a deep focus on impact.
We source underutilized retail and mixed-use opportunities others miss—and structure efficient, flexible capital stacks to support long-term success.
From lease negotiations to physical upgrades, we lead every detail of asset improvement to maximize performance and unlock value.
We go beyond returns—investing in assets that strengthen neighborhoods, support local economies, and elevate the tenant and customer experience.
We manage hold periods with purpose, communicate with transparency, and execute exits that align with investor goals and market timing.
