  • What's Old is Now New Again

    Western Real Estate Business

    New retail developments aren't as abundant as they used to be. Many existing centers have space to fill, and though they may have been developed years ago, they're catching their second winds after undergoing extensive renovations that suit today's tenants and shoppers.

  • Reinvention is Key

    Western Reat Estate Business

    Change or die or renovate or die... it's all the same in retail. Both retailers and large shopping center owners (including regional malls and large open-air centers) are having to reinvent themselves to retain their market share. And, with higher land construction costs, renovating will continue to be a priority in 2013.

    “I met Craig when we hired his firm to step in midway through a number of complicated projects at one of our shopping centers. He quickly became an integral member of our team. Craig approaches each project with the goal of finding the most creative yet practical and cost-effective solution. In one instance, Craig and his team were able to come up with a solution to an ongoing problem that no one had been able to solve for years. He is a pleasure to work with and maintains strong working relationships with all members of the team, including contractors, tenants and city officials. I look forward to working together for years to come.”
