General Session9:30 – 10:15 amThe New Normal: Structural Shifts vs. Cyclical Recovery in Retail Property MarketsAlmost six years into the recovery, the retail sector still has not fully recovered, with occupancies elevated and rents depressed for many types of retail space. But not all retailers or shopping centers are hurting, and many players are thriving as never before. What’s going on and why hasn’t the sector returned to its former strength even as consumers have regained their financial footing? This session will explore structural changes transforming the retail landscape – and the growing divide between the sector’s winners and losers.

SPEAKERAndrew J. NelsonChief Economist | USAColliers InternationalSan Francisco, CA

B. Point Counterpoint: An Urban U-Turn?For much of the last century, the U.S. has been a “suburban nation.” But now the tides may be turning. Surveys have shown that millennials prefer to live in diverse urban villages. And many aging boomers do too. But is this merely a life-stage trend? Will those same millennials eventually move to the ‘burbs’? What does it all mean for retailers? Garrick Brown and Suzanne Mulvee will take pro and con positions in this exciting debate.
