From YouTube: The Changing Face of Retail

Description

The retail industry is experiencing dramatic change. Its transformation has had a significant impact on "bricks and mortar" development. Fewer tenants are available to fill vacancies and new strategies must be applied in order to generate "sustainable" retail and successful main streets and shopping environments. Learn about these market trends, what is important to the new shopping demographic, and what today's retailers demand in commercial space design. Participating in this panel discussion is Bruce Leonard, principal of Streetsense, Jill Griffin of Arlington Economic Development, and John Tschiderer of Federal Realty Investment Trust. This panel was part of the Arlington County VA Dept. of Community Housing, Planning and Development, Planning Division's Roundabouts Speaker Series. The moderator was Arlington County Planner Jason Beske. The panel discussion was recorded at George Mason Law School on February 19 2014.
