National Retail East Coast Series

Retail- a sector that generated $4.9 trillion worth of domestic sales in 2015- has always been a strong demand-driver in real estate. Despite this, the rise of online shopping has stymied what could be even stronger growth. The industry has witnessed unprecedented growth but has also been forced to adopt new strategies with the shift towards e-commerce, which accounts for more than 10% of all new leases of industrial real estate in the U.S. and 40% of big-box demand.

Join Bisnow at our National Retail East Coast Series for a full day stocked with hard-hitting content from some of the nation's top retail execs. Don't miss the key players discussing these trends and more!

1271 Avenue of the Americas

The reinvention of 1271 Avenue of the Americas provides a unique opportunity; the efficiency and infrastructure of a new building, combined with the history and prestige of one of New York City's most recognized addresses for business. This comprehensive project will dramatically improve views and light with a new exterior façade, revive the plaza, and reimagine the lobby’s bold design. An icon of mid-century modern architecture, 1271 Avenue of the Americas has always used design to inspire and elevate the work day. An extensive top-to-bottom renovation means that this world-renowned building will continue to turn heads well into the future.
