Q & A on shopping centers:
'Retailers have gravitated
to high-quality properties'
Q How did shopping centers
in the Perimeter area per
form during the recent recession?

/V The Perimeter area per-
** formed significantly better
than many other submarkets in
the Atlanta metro area. Retailers
scaled back and "cherry picked"
prime locations, taking minimal
risks. Fortunately, the Perimeter
area was on the short list of sub-
markets where retailers pursued a
location, despite overall weak eco
nomic conditions.
Retailers have an incredibly
positive view of the Perimeter -
in addition to having considerable
retail gravity, it's the perfect storm
of burgeoning daytime popula
tion - coupled with wealthy resi
dents - that's a recipe for success.
Q
Have the centers in the Pe
rimeter area recovered?

What changes have been or will
be needed to respond to changes
in the market?
/V They've almost fully recov-
** ered. At this point, occupan
cy rates are very strong, and rents
aren't far behind. One trend we
are seeing is a "flight to quality,"
where retailers are looking at more
than standard site requirements
(i.e. demographics, traffic counts,
etc.), but rather a shopping center
that increases their brand value.
Retailers have heightened their
focus on the quality of the shop
ping centers they locate in, and
who their neighbors will be. From
a landlord's perspective, we've
placed a much stronger focus
on merchandising, assessing the
quality of prospective tenants, as
well as keeping our shopping cen
ters looking fresh.
Q Planners in the Perimeter
area project "live-work-
play" developments in the fu
ture, which usually is interpreted
to mean more mixed-use and me
dium-rise or high-rise buildings.
How does the traditional retail
shopping center fit into that sort
of plan?
/V Retail, in its purest form, re-
volves around retailer sales.
If retailers perform well in mixed-
use developments, then that will
drive demand and rents for these
types of developments, and devel
opers will consequently follow
suit.
Besides some obvious man
agement and coordination chal
lenges when mixing residential
with commercial uses, tradition
al retailers often shy away from
mixed-use properties, as many re
tailers pose concerns about park
ing, access and visibility, which
ultimately affects their ability to
generate revenue.
A more desirable approach
may be a "multi-use" format, rath
er than mixed-use, where office,
retail and residential uses co-exist
nearby each other, but are locat
ed on separate properties. You get
most of the benefits of "live-work-
play" without as much pushback
from retailers.
Q Looking forward, how do
you see shopping centers
changing?
