Megatrends in retail real estate

Retail real estate properties and their marketplaces are in a constant state of change. The emergence of new and growing value formats like warehouse clubs, factory outlet malls, and other powerful discount formats provide traditional shopping centers and malls with increasingly competitive challenges. These value and discount retail formats generate higher sales per square foot and have lower construction costs than many traditional retail properties. Combined with the slow growth in retail sales and the increasing alternatives to in-store retailing, the question arises as to the future of retail marketplaces and which retail formats will be the leaders of the future. Megatrends in Retail Real Estate allows one to analyze and forecast changes in the retail marketplace. The book represents a simple model to analyze and predict mall and shopping center investment returns. It then examines the financing of retail properties and securitization of their mortgages, as well as the operations of retail properties. Finally, the book analyzes new retail marketplaces and the international retail arena.
