Flipping the Old Retail Ratio On Its Head

Mayblum: “We view the project as leading the new vision of retail—there’s a clear transformation going on, and it’s important to be at the forefront of that.”

ANAHEIM, CA—Recent renovations to Anaheim GardenWalk turns the tables on the customary retail-center mix of 70% traditional retail to 30% entertainment and restaurants, making the project more enjoyable and easier to navigate for visitors, Arcturus’ co-founder and principal Jonathan Mayblum tells GlobeSt.com. Arcturus is the real estate asset-management company that owns and manages Anaheim GardenWalk, a 460,000-square-foot outdoor dining, shopping and entertainment center in the Anaheim Resort District.

GardenWalk is near Disneyland® Resort and Anaheim Convention Center and a short drive from Angel Stadium and Honda Center. The project hosts a collection of popular restaurants, vibrant nightlife, trendy shops an upscale bowling lounge and fun family events. New happenings include the addition of restaurants, entertainment venues and retail shops. Arcturus tells us that planned physical improvements to the property are substantially complete, although the center still has some leasing to accomplish.
