Headquartered in the Navajo Nation Capital of Window Rock, Arizona, Navajo Nation Shopping Centers, Inc. manages ten shopping centers, which total more than 3.1 thousand square feet of leaseable space. NNSCI’s approach to managing the centers ensures business growth that provides both management and maintenance services to its tenants. This guarantees that our valued tenants receive personal attention and high value for their rental dollar. Because of our leasing options, NNSCI has maintained an occupancy rate well above industry averages for more than 20 years. We are continually working to upgrade our properties and provide our tenants with attractive, functional space that enables them to effectively compete within our highly competitive border-town consumer marketplaces.

History
Navajo Nation Shopping Centers, Inc. was created in 1983 by the Navajo Nation Council and was managed by the Navajo Nation Division of Economic Development as part of the Navajo Nation’s Overall Economic Development Plan. The development of the shopping centers is one way to boost the Navajo economy by providing jobs, goods and services, and revenue for the Navajo people.
Today, Navajo Nation Shopping Centers, Inc. has acquired its own Incorporation—Navajo Nation Shopping Centers, Inc. (NNSCI). As a result, the company is completely self-operational without any Tribal department influence, yet it operates as a Tribal Enterprise of the Navajo Nation. The most recent addition to NNSCI’s ten shopping centers is the Dilkon Shopping Center in 2002.
