Capital for Philadelphia
retail operators.

Philadelphia retail layers an enormous range of submarkets across the city and into the Main Line suburbs. Walnut Street and the Rittenhouse Square corridor carry the upscale national-brand and independent flagship mix in Center City. King of Prussia Mall in Montgomery County — one of the largest shopping centers in the United States by gross leasable area — anchors the suburban holiday market. Old City and Society Hill carry historic and specialty independents serving tourist and local traffic. South Street remains a distinct alternative-specialty corridor. Fishtown's Frankford Avenue and Northern Liberties have emerged as the densest independent boutique and design-led retail neighborhoods in the city. Manayunk's Main Street carries a neighborhood specialty mix. Chestnut Hill runs an upscale suburban-feel corridor inside city limits.

Goliath funds Philadelphia retail every week. Our underwriters read Mid-Atlantic retail deposits with a working understanding of how the city's diverse corridors and the suburban King of Prussia draw actually combine across the four-season calendar. We don't ask Walnut Street operators why February deposits drop — we already know.

The corridors and centers we fund every week

National-brand and upscale independents along Walnut Street and the Rittenhouse Square corridor. National tenants at King of Prussia Mall and the adjacent Court and Plaza specialty retail. Historic and tourist-adjacent operators in Old City along Market and 2nd Streets. Alternative-specialty along South Street. Independent boutiques in Fishtown on Frankford Avenue and in Northern Liberties. Manayunk Main Street specialty. Chestnut Hill independents. Cherry Hill Mall and the South Jersey suburban corridor.

What our typical Philadelphia retail deal looks like

A Walnut Street national-brand franchisee taking $100,000–$200,000 in September to load holiday inventory. A King of Prussia tenant loading Black Friday inventory in October with a $150,000 line. A Fishtown independent bridging a slow February with a $30,000 working-capital advance. An Old City specialty operator buying out a partner with a $200,000 term loan over 18 months. These are the files we close every week.
