Values Driven Retail

The best retail today is an exciting “local” destination that transforms the shopping experience. As the industry transitions to new and more enduring business models, such as converting to mixed use, the rise of the conscious consumer is also having an impact. More than ever, consumers are shopping with process, story, and mission top of mind. Combining “values driven” retailing with the qualities of authentic, unique, and local… and we have a powerful multi-generation experience that will drive social connectivity, sales, and investment potential by transforming our understanding of community. And the right mix of tenants, carefully curated, has never been more important to increasing visitation and shopping duration..
