How to Create a Retail Map for Your Offering Memorandum

An Offering Memorandum (OM) is only as good as its visuals. A well-designed retail map can instantly communicate the property's retail environment and significantly enhance your presentation.

Step 1: Search Your Property

Start by entering the property address. CRE Retail Maps will automatically center the map and pull parcel data, so you don't have to manually adjust the view.

Step 2: Add Neighboring Tenants

Click the "Add Logo" button and type the name of a nearby retailer. The system will find the official logo and let you place it on the map.

Pro Tip: Add anchor tenants first, then fill in smaller retailers around the subject property.

Step 3: Customize Your Map

  • Add custom labels for the subject property
  • Draw radius rings (1-mile, 3-mile, 5-mile)
  • Highlight traffic generators like major intersections

Step 4: Export and Insert

Download your map as a high-resolution PNG or PDF. The image is ready to be inserted directly into your OM.

Conclusion

A great retail map shows buyers that you've done your homework. With CRE Retail Maps, you can create professional-quality maps in minutes, freeing up time to focus on what matters: closing the deal.
