Samantha Ashcraft
Sleiman Enterprises started as a small family venture in 1955 that has since turned into a legacy real estate portfolio – all by 1 initial lease. Small Businesses are the backbone of our real estate holdings and we take pride in every concept we are able to help bring to brick-and-mortar fruition.
As retail is in the midst of an evolution, Sleiman wants to provide new retail entrepreneurs the ability to bring innovative concepts to the Jacksonville, FL market; this is why we have created RISE: Retail Incubator for Sleiman Entrepreneurs.
RISE– to your potential
The RISE program will lower the tenants startup costs by waiving base rent for up to one year of operation. In addition to waiving up to one year of base rent, the Sleiman Specialty Leasing Team will provide extensive educational resources and support to aid the tenant in navigating the intricacies of a business plan, retail leasing, space design and management.
