Transforming Underperforming Malls Into Thriving Destinations

What We Do –

Mall Redevelopment

Malls across America are facing increasing pressure to evolve as the retail landscape continues to shift. Changing consumer behaviors, the closure of traditional anchor tenants, and outdated shopping center designs have created new challenges for owners seeking long-term success.

Today’s malls are no longer defined solely by retail. Modern consumers are drawn to dynamic, experience-driven destinations that offer entertainment, health and wellness options, inviting public spaces, and opportunities for community connection. As a result, many malls are embracing strategic densification by incorporating residential, office, and other complementary uses.

After conducting a comprehensive analysis of your project, Retail Real Estate Resources develops tailored solutions focused on market repositioning, tenant mix optimization, physical design enhancements, and improved economic performance. Our approach provides a clear roadmap outlining the strategy, timing, and key steps required throughout every phase—from entitlement through construction.

Our recommendations range from targeted cosmetic improvements and tenant repositioning strategies to complete project transformations involving densification and the integration of housing, office, or other non-retail uses.

Our Scope of Work Includes:

  • Complete analysis of existing mall sales volumes.
  • Identification of vulnerable areas within the mall.
  • Review of ownership redevelopment goals and budget considerations.
  • Creation of a redevelopment vision aligned with ownership objectives and financial parameters.
  • Development of strategic implementation steps to bring the redevelopment vision to life.
  • Entitlement assessment.
  • Formation of a redevelopment team of experts, including architects, engineers, lawyers, and planners, to execute the vision.
  • Communication and coordination with public agencies, including city and county representatives.
  • Establishment of an implementation schedule and management process.
  • Coordination with the redevelopment team of experts.
