CityView Commercial is a Jersey City, New Jersey-based private family office focused on opportunistic commercial real estate. Its current target assets are indoor malls, outdoor shopping centers and office buildings, with a U.S. footprint spanning New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Texas, Minnesota and other markets. The firm is pursuing properties with financing challenges, including all-cash purchases, and emphasizes swift execution. Its retail track record includes acquiring Southlake Mall near Atlanta with Jacobs Real Estate Advisors and turning around assets such as Security Square Mall in Baltimore and Southwest Center Mall in Dallas. CityView also partnered with Jacobs on Gaviidae Commons, a Minneapolis mixed-use office and retail complex. Earlier company materials described CityView as the real estate arm for the Jimmy Jazz retail chain, giving it the ability to place chain stores in its properties. For real estate sponsors, CityView stands out as a direct-owning family office with an opportunistic, value-add orientation, retail turnaround experience and a tenanting advantage.
