Transwestern Investment Group Launches National Net Lease Retail Strategy With 7 Brew Coffee Sites

DALLAS — June 11, 2026 — Transwestern Investment Group has launched a national net lease retail strategy aimed at building a portfolio of ground-up, single-tenant retail properties across key U.S. markets, the firm announced. The platform is designed to deliver institutional-quality net lease assets to institutional buyers while supporting tenant expansion, with the first two transactions — 7 Brew Coffee franchise locations in Minnesota and Indiana — having closed in May.

A Scalable Real Estate Acquisition and Development Platform

According to the firm, the strategy centers on purpose-built net lease investments leased to creditworthy tenants in high-traffic retail corridors. Transwestern Investment Group said it has entered into a strategic partnership to capitalize the development of the national portfolio, though the firm did not disclose the identity of its partner, the financial terms of the transactions, or lease details such as cap rates or lease duration.

Andy Norman, Director of Acquisitions at Transwestern Investment Group, said the initiative reflects the firm's broader investment approach. "This strategy aligns with our broader investment approach of partnering alongside experienced groups to pursue scalable opportunities supported by strong real estate fundamentals and tenant demand," Norman said. "We see meaningful demand from both tenants and investors for well-located net lease properties and this platform allows us to efficiently meet that demand at scale."

Beyond the two closed transactions, Transwestern Investment Group said it has additional opportunities in the pipeline in Georgia, Florida, and Indiana.

7 Brew Coffee and the Drive-Thru Net Lease Format

7 Brew Coffee is a drive-thru coffee franchise. Transwestern Investment Group did not disclose the specific locations of the Minnesota and Indiana sites, the size of the properties, or the financial terms of the agreements.

The pipeline locations in Georgia, Florida, and Indiana indicate the markets the firm is currently targeting, though the firm has not disclosed the number of additional sites under consideration or their projected timeline.

Transwestern's Broader Commercial Real Estate Footprint

Transwestern describes itself as a vertically integrated commercial real estate firm with expertise spanning investment, development, brokerage, and property management. The firm said it owns, leases, and operates $64 billion in assets across 35 offices nationwide as of April 1, 2026, a figure that includes the broader Transwestern organization and registered investment adviser assets under management. Its experience covers a range of property types including logistics, multifamily, retail, mixed-use, healthcare, office, data centers, hotel, and life sciences.

The new net lease retail strategy represents a defined product line within that broader platform, targeting ground-up retail development packaged for institutional distribution. The firm did not provide a target portfolio size, fundraising details, or a projected timeline for completing the pipeline transactions. Investor commitments and capital raise targets have not been disclosed.
