The retail real estate industry has undeniably witnessed significant changes and a constant transformation within the past several years.

As one of the hardest-hit sectors in the commercial property field, due to economic headwinds and the industry's natural evolution, retail real estate has recently experienced a healthy resurgence.

Considering the recurrent retail closures in the space, industry professionals are working harder and smarter than ever, crafting the sector's renaissance through creative strategies.

Examining the shifting preferences of consumers and acknowledging e-commerce's growing customer base, professionals are seeking resourceful solutions to build business, acquire customers, create consumer retention, reinvest in stores and reinvent spaces.

Developers, investors and municipalities alike are seizing opportunities to revitalize communities through retail assets, across all product types. Professionals are securing carefully curated tenant mixes to re-energize dated properties, while breathing new life into vacant facilities through fresh, innovative uses. Placemakers have become all the rage, sparking an urban feel through mixed-use centers, while industry professionals work with online retailers to expand physical footprints.

Skilled individuals and organizations have been implementing their reviving efforts by owning, operating, promoting and managing these assets. Whether it be renovating shopping centers, marketing brick-and-mortar stores, obtaining retail tenants or meeting the residential demands for mixed-use developments, retail professionals are leveraging the sector's aggressive pricing and creating new energy within the market.

Through ingenuity, efficiency and determination, these professionals have helped shape the retail real estate industry, continuing further innovation in the field, while proving that retail is not dead.
