Holiday Retail Outlook: Strong and Creative
In a new report, CBRE sets out four trends that could define the holiday shopping season. Some are smart evolutions of previous trends, while one will seek to build on the ashes of a departed category-killer.
The Changing Retail Landscape
CBRE Head of Retail Research for the Americas Melina Cordero sat down with Commercial Property Executive to discuss the major trends and challenges facing the retail sector and how retail real estate owners and managers, as well as retailers themselves, are adapting.
Top Retail Strategies for This Holiday Season
Mobile commerce, discounters, more pop-ups and warehouse space—these are the four key factors that CBRE identified as this year’s Christmas season preferences among shoppers. Clients want omnichannel access and enhanced consumer experiences.
