This panel will focus on how underperforming retail locations can be revitalized through thoughtful redevelopment and strategic extensions. We’ll explore why evolving consumer behavior and urban trends make redevelopment a necessity—not an option. Panelists will share approaches like tenant mix refresh, mixed-use integration, and “live-shop-play” concepts that bring spaces back to life. We’ll also discuss the practicalities of building up or out, infrastructure needs, regulatory hurdles, and financing models. The session will highlight how successful projects balance vision, flexibility, and community relevance to create lasting impact.
