Lifestyle centers are an attractive pedestrian oriented retail format typically with a mix of additional uses. Most jurisdictions prefer this form for new retail developments. However, they will only be successful locations with the right demographics, access and zoning flexibility. This session will visit a very successful lifestyle center, Fairfax Corner, and hear about its planning evolution and its future development plans. The session will also discuss the challenges of building such centers currently given recent changes in consumer tastes, retailers’ growth plans and financing challenges.
