The last enclosed mall in the U.S. has already been built. The big box center is experiencing a decrease in customer demand and therefore in new construction. Chains popular two, or five, or ten years ago are about to disappear from the retail landscape. What’s left are "lifestyle centers", residential apartments and condominiums above one story of retail (mixed-use, transit-oriented), traditional main street retail, and unique and specialty shops. The retail landscape changes quickly to keep pace with the fickle shopper, changing demographics, and the renewed emphasis on urban locations. Internet shopping takes an increasing share of the retail landscape. Artemel and Associates specializes in urban retail, as a component of mixed-use or transit-oriented development and in successful downtown retail, often a factor in the revitalization of blighted areas. We also work with independent retailers, merchant and business associations, Main Street programs, and Business Improvement Districts to promote healthy retail.
