Aronov Reality is the largest privately held and full service real estate company in the Southeast.  Founded in 1952 by Aaron Aronov, they own thousands of properties, among them our own local Albany Mall.  The company was founded after World War II in response to the unprecedented demand for housing.  In the beginning, the company focused mainly on apartment and subdivision development.  The first shopping center built and owned by Aronov was Normandale Mall, completed in 1954.  The shopping center was recognized as an outstanding example of tenant mix and financial viability.  Now, Aronov has successfully built and leased over 12,000 multi family units, and successfully marketed 31,000 single-family home sites.   

Aaron Aronov, the initiator of Aronov Reality, was a founding member of the International Council of Shopping Centers.  Additionally, he was a member on its first Board of Trustees.  The Aronov brothers, Jake and Owen, now head the company.  It is extremely successful, building and leasing resorts, shopping centers, and commercial properties all over the Southeast.

The retail branch of Aronov Reality is flourishing. They develop a broad variety of center types including neighborhood strip malls, community and discount centers, regional malls, and more.  The company offers a special type of leasing known as Specialty (or Temporary) Leasing.  It targets new, creative, and original products that will compliment the existing permanent stores in the mall.  Aronov Malls provide ‘Retail Merchandising Units’ (RMUs), are in-line store locations available on a first-come, first-serve basis.  The Specialty License to occupy these can be written for weekends, one or two week, or multiple month terms.  However, the maximum term for a Specialty license is one year.
