    The Evolution of Retail in Commercial Real Estate

    In this episode, Michael Mandel sits down with Greg Katz to unpack how retail has evolved in the years since the pandemic. They dive into how Esri’s geospatial data is shaping retail strategies, why grocery-anchored centers are making a strong comeback, and how “medtail” is carving out its place in the market. From the challenges of visualizing data to the growing importance of consumer personas, they cover the nuances of retail comps and what’s next for the industry. Tune in for a thoughtful look at the intersection of tech, data, and the customer experience in modern retail.
