Explore the lifestyle center and what has worked and what hasn't. The session will start with the basic definitions that various developers and retailers have said define a successful lifestyle center. From there, the panel will examine multiple complete projects to describe the intricacies of lifestyle centers. This exploration will include the issues facing anyone developing or designing a lifestyle center today. Not only will pragmatic areas such as parking, streets, tenant orientation and storefront design and implementation be reviewed, but also leasing strategies, operation issues and management concerns will be explored. The future of this project type will also be debated, including, whether or not this is a project type that is here to stay. The panel will also review the latest fad, mixed-use developments - do they really benefit the center, or just add cost and complications. Come participate in a lively Q & A on lifestyle centers - find out about "double wide mainstreets", "pods", "two level, open-air, regional lifestyle centers", and that now famous "iny-outy".
