THE FUEL THAT MOVES US
Welcome to HRI Development, where vision meets expertise to redefine the commercial landscape. With decades of proven excellence, we transform bold ideas into vibrant retail centers, state-of-the-art fueling hubs, and thriving community spaces that fuel progress and prosperity. A critical element of human mobility and flow of supply chain is the fuel that moves us. While it is reasonable to expect that there will be a need and demand for all types of fueling, for the foreseeable future, we recognize electricity as an optimum form of fuel. We believe the EV charging experience will evolve into a more substantial “Destinational” experience and our vision of The Fueling Stations of the Future is a transformative response to this evolution.
NECESSI-TAIL
WHAT IS NECESSI-TAIL?
We coined the term Necessi-tail to define necessity-based commercial real estate. Businesses that provide and serve daily needs to consumers occupy a place of business suited for the specific company. Necessi-tail has proven to be the most resilient type of real estate in volatile economic cycles. Daily needs and necessities are provided by grocers, pharmacies, quick-serve food concepts, and unavoidably the traditional gas stations. With the evolution of Zero-Emission Fueling options, EV charging, and Hydrogen fuel are here to stay and progressively replace petroleum-based fueling options, sometime in the future.
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF FUELING?
All daily needs and necessities are transported from and to multiple destinations and eventually reach the consumer via mobility. In effect, it is the fuel that moves us and all we make and consume. While strides are being made towards zero emission, the reality is that the consumer shapes the demand and thereby the complexion of supply.
WHAT IS THE FUELING STATION OF THE FUTURE?
Drawing conclusions from the evolution of the “Gas Station”, the consumer will demand a variety of fuel options, on-demand availability, elevated level of safety, security and cleanliness, and preferably on-site conveniences and offerings of other daily needs.


OUR VISION
Necessi-tail embodies our forward-thinking vision for the future of necessity-based commercial real estate, a term we have crafted to encapsulate the type of businesses that seamlessly integrate into the fabric of daily life. These are the pillars of our communities—groceries, pharmacies, quick-service food outlets, and fueling gas stations—each playing a vital role in sustaining everyday existence. Even amidst economic turbulence, these essential businesses stand resilient and unwavering in their mission to meet the indispensable needs of consumers. As the world pivots towards a new era of zero-emission fueling options, from EV charging to hydrogen power, these foundational necessities will continue to transform and adapt. The future of fueling will directly reflect evolving consumer desires, demanding a spectrum of fuel choices, instant availability, and an elevated commitment to safety, security, and cleanliness. The fueling station of tomorrow will transcend its traditional role, emerging as a dynamic hub where the essentials of daily life converge, perfectly mirroring the ongoing evolution of mobility and consumer expectations.
