Linear Retail Properties

Linear Retail Properties is a Burlington-based owner and operator of convenience-driven retail real estate in eastern Massachusetts, southern New Hampshire and Rhode Island. Its shopping centers focus on essential stores and services that meet everyday needs, set at major intersections and in busy downtowns. Tenants range from national chains to local mom-and-pop shops, and the company positions itself as a long-term landlord partner rather than simply a provider of space.

A key part of the company’s strategy is revitalizing convenience properties through renovation and new design so they become lively neighborhood hubs with strong cross-shopping between tenants. Linear Retail also promotes its tenants directly, coordinating photo and video shoots for openings such as a pet groomer at Burlington Marketplace and a deli and hardware store at Blackstone Place in Pawtucket. The team describes a leadership philosophy built on kindness and collaboration.
