Contrary to what the pundits have said, top malls have endured the growth of Walmart/Target, lifestyle centers, power centers, the proliferation of strip centers, e-commerce, retailer bankruptcies and the shut-down from the pandemic to name just a few. With that said, our well-located properties (whether enclosed or not) continue to lead the retail scene because they are properly maintained, leased and reinvigorated.
