Thriving Retail Today: What are the Key Ingredients?

Webinar Summary: What drives successful brick-and-mortar retail today? What lessons can be learned from outperformers that can help owners improve their retail centers or plan better ones? How do shopping centers thrive alongside the convenience of e-commerce? And how can cities and towns help support successful retail development in their downtowns and in neighborhoods? To answer these questions, the Urban Land Institute spoke with the owners of a wide range of thriving open-air retail properties across the nation. The projects demonstrate that there is no single blueprint for success shared by all high-performing centers, but there are several operational strategies and themes followed by nearly every successful center. Hear directly from owners of thriving retail centers about their experiences and the strategies they use to make their centers successful.
