Red Cedar Partners is a Chicago-based commercial real estate development firm specializing in ground-up, build-to-suit properties for national retail and service tenants. Founded in 2004, we've spent two decades mastering a focused discipline: identifying the right sites, securing the right tenants, and delivering investment-grade NNN assets that perform from day one.
We work with tenants like 7-Eleven, Panera Bread, and Aldi — household names whose long-term leases create stable, predictable cash flow for our investors and 1031 exchange buyers.
Our model is simple: we take on the complexity so our clients don't have to.
Build-to-Suit Development
Build-to-suit is all we do — and we do it end to end.
From site selection and land acquisition through entitlements, design, construction, and tenant occupancy, we manage every phase of the development process. Our team coordinates directly with brokers, engineers, architects, attorneys, and municipal bodies, keeping projects on schedule and on budget without passing the chaos upstream.
For national tenants, that means a purpose-built facility that meets your exact specifications — delivered efficiently, with no surprises. For investors, it means a stabilized, NNN-leased asset with a creditworthy tenant already in place.
We develop properties across the country, and we're selective about what we take on — because our reputation is built one deal at a time.
