    These 10 Malls Get the Most Revenue Out of Their SF

    People may be flocking to urban areas, but that doesn't mean the suburban mall is dead. Here are 10 shopping centers with the highest sales per SF, according to data from Green Street Advisors.

    1 of 11

    1. Bal Harbour Shops

    Sales per SF: $3k

    Location: Bal Harbour, FL

    Owner: Whitman Family Development

    This open-air center screams luxury with koi ponds and palm trees surrounding high-end retailers. Because the shopping center is in a wealthy Miami suburb, there's been a waiting list for retailers wanting to open up shop. Unfortunately for them, there's been 100% occupancy for the last several decades.

    Owner: Simon Property Group

    The highest-ranking outlet is just two hours outside of NYC, making it a hot spot for tourists visiting the city and looking to spend some greenbacks. The massive 800k SF shopping complex opened in 1985 and went through expansions in 1993 and 1998.

    7. Pheasant Lane Mall

    Sales per SF: $1,540

    Location: Nashua, NH

    Owner: Simon Property Group

    This 1M SF mall has a strange pentagon shape to keep it within New Hampshire's tax-free borders. That being said, lots of Massachusetts residents cross over to enjoy the benefits. The mall underwent a $10M renovation in 2012.
