WHY THIS MATTERS
What You’ll Learn:
- Why Phoenix remains one of the most competitive retail markets in the country, and which assets, submarkets, and deal structures are capturing demand right now
- How PV and The Metropolitan are proving that legacy retail sites can become the Valley's most sought-after mixed-use destinations, and what it actually took to get there
- Why standalone retail is giving way to experience-driven, mixed-use environments and how that shift is changing the way deals get structured, tenants get selected, and assets get valued
- Where capital is moving across grocery-anchored, necessity-based, and experiential retail, and how the investors still closing deals are making the numbers work
- What today's retailers actually want, how Phoenix consumers are spending differently, and how that intelligence should be shaping your next site decision, design, or lease negotiation
How You’ll Do More Business: Understand where retail demand is strongest across Phoenix and how it is shifting so you can better site, design, lease, and finance projects. Learn how leading developers and investors are structuring deals, selecting tenants, and delivering projects that perform in today’s market.
Who You’ll Network With: Developers, owners, investors, retailers, brokers, architects, designers, general contractors, and city officials active across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, and the broader Valley.
