Seattle Retail & Mixed-Use Breakdown 2018 | Bisnow | 15 February 2018 | Four Seasons Hotel Seattle, 99 Union St, Seattle, WA 98101, US

RetailWeek's Nicola Smith writes, “In today’s competitive marketplace where the competition is just one click away, the end-to-end customer experience offered by online and physical retailers is critical.” As the state of the traditional retail continues to be in flux, many prolific owner/operators are taking notice and hedging their bets!

One way retail property owners are looking to diversify their portfolios is by being innovative with types of tenants they target for their shopping centers, malls & ground floor properties. Martin Architectural Group principal Drew Romanic goes on to say “There’s not a lot of ground-up spec retail happening, but we’re finding that, for new construction, it used to be 50-50 food and retail, and it’s now 70-30 for food versus retail.” Food is always going to be a draw, and adding additional services to mixed-use properties could provide a sliver of hope to those on the fence about this asset class!

1) What Seattle retailers are going to break the new frontiers of innovation?
