This intensive seminar
explores the topic of retail development with a focus on the field’s current
opportunities and challenges. Attendees learn from retail industry experts with
experience in successful projects throughout the country.
Retail remains the fastest
moving real estate sector, subject to rapidly changing consumer demand for
individual products, categories of merchandise, and varied shopping experiences.
The challenges of developing, leasing, marketing, financing, and managing retail
properties have never been greater: open-air centers dominate the retail
landscape while enclosed shopping malls continue to evolve and reposition
themselves; the big boxes grow ever bigger; consumers’ appetite for casual
dining and entertainment increases; and the grocery-anchored center and anchors
for shopping centers and malls are being redefined.
Urban retailing and mixed-use
approaches are also increasingly important, not only for town centers, main
streets, and city shopping districts, but also urban entertainment centers,
lifestyle centers, and conventional shopping centers where land is expensive,
communities demand more compact development, and vertical mixed use can increase
development potential and add value.
