The New Model for Retail

The old model of stand alone retail is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. For retail to be successful with today’s consumers it has to be about more than just making the purchase. The best retail provides a complete experience that appeals to all the senses and evokes a range of memorable emotions. It includes great dining opportunities and public spaces that feel like destination resorts. It is urban and urbane, often incorporating housing to capture the value created by the retail spaces and energize the development with 24/7 activity.

This new model for retail requires a design firm that understands housing, hospitality and mixed-use projects and can combine them into lifestyle centers for the 21st century.

A proven industry leader in the residential and destination markets, AMAA is now committed to further enhancing our depth of expertise in the retail industry. Among AMAA’s biggest strengths is our ability to address the business, social and cultural needs inherent in every retail and retail/mixed-use project. From site design of regional centers and special tenant improvement needs to large scale mixed-used developments, we combine our broad knowledge base of business and consumer trends to effectively respond to the evolving retail marketplace.
