Midtown Niki Group
The Midtown Niki Group (MNG) is a boutique real estate investment company that provides sale-leaseback financing and invests equity with seasoned, professional development partners. Retailers and restaurant operators use our Net Lease Programs to convert real estate into cash, finance acquisitions, and accelerate their company’s expansion and growth. We provide developers with the equity for their projects under a joint venture arrangement allowing them to expand the use of their own capital, and benefit from our broad-based real estate experience. Since 1979, we have earned the reputation of a RESPONSIVE company with the capital, flexibility, and sophistication to tailor our performance to fit your specific needs. No bureaucracy, no boards, no committees-our decision makers are hands on and involved firsthand in every transaction. This ensures quick decisions-informed, agile, efficient solutions without bureaucracy-saving you time and money. We believe that in PARTNERSHIP, the union of our capital and your operation expertise is the key to mutual success. We therefore strive to develop long-term relationships with highly professional tenants and developers. Our commitment to those relationships is based on two simple rules. First SERVING our clients unique needs, second PERFORMANCE.
