Sleiman Enterprises is a privately held, family-owned commercial real estate company based in Jacksonville, Florida, with operations dating to the mid-1950s. The business was founded by Eli and Josephine Sleiman, who arrived in the United States from Lebanon in 1949. After opening the Lynwood Grocery Store in Jacksonville, the couple began investing in real estate in 1955, initially buying and selling small parcels of land before developing 7-Eleven locations across the Southeast. This early relationship with 7-Eleven led to the company's expansion into grocery-anchored neighborhood centers. The platform evolved into a vertically integrated owner-operator with capabilities spanning acquisitions, ground-up development, design and construction oversight, leasing, and property management. The company's investment strategy centers on grocery-anchored neighborhood centers in growth-oriented markets across the Southeast, alongside development and redevelopment of community-serving retail. The portfolio exceeds 5 million square feet across more than 90 properties. Core asset types are predominantly retail shopping centers, including grocery-anchored, community, and neighborhood centers, with limited office and warehouse exposure. Portfolio concentration is heaviest in Northeast Florida, particularly Jacksonville and nearby suburbs and beach communities. Outside Northeast Florida, assets include other Florida markets such as Tampa and South Florida, and select out-of-state locations in Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and Virginia. The company maintains tenant relationships with national and regional retailers such as Publix and Target. Second-generation family members Toney, Joseph, and Eli Sleiman Jr. now lead the company, with third-generation members joining the business. In 2026, Sleiman Enterprises announced a yearslong effort to bring Harris Teeter to Jacksonville came to fruition, with a store under construction in the Atlantic North shopping center and plans for additional Florida locations. The company also manages Fernandina Beach's only Harris Teeter location in Florida.
