1. What to do with all that retail space<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Retail malls are usually located at the crossroads, near residential communities and major highways, and they have plenty of parking. So, wouldn’t they make good apartments, logistics centers or offices?

While these conversions may seem to be the ideal solution for today’s over-retailed world, it’s complicated from both a leasing and a structural perspective.<\/p>\n

3.  Millennials move to the suburbs since coronavirus…and before.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shift to greener, less dense pastures had started before the pandemic, as Millennials were beginning to purchase their first homes. The virus has accelerated that trend, and Starbucks and Amazon are following with major new expansions in the suburbs. The question is: Will corporate tenants decide to reside in the urban core or the spacious burbs?<\/p>\n
