Retail Series: West Coast Summit 2018 | Bisnow | 26 September 2018 | JW Marriott LA Live, 900 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90015, USA

Retail, which generated $5.5 trillion worth of domestic sales in 2016, has historically been a resilient asset class for the CRE industry. The rise of online shopping has stymied strong growth for retail, and the industry has been forced to adopt new strategies with the consumer shift away from traditional brick and mortar towards e-commerce. U.S. retail hasn't faced this level of change since regional malls were introduced in the 1950s and discount big-box retail grew in the 1980s. According to Bloomberg, through the third quarter of 2017, 6,752 retail locations were scheduled to close in the U.S., excluding grocery stores and restaurants, which is double the 2016 total.
