MIAMI-The Florida ICSC show is up and running, but what's the mood like? On Monday, we offered up an exclusive interview with James Mitchell, first vice president of CBRE Orlando, to get his take on the Amazon Effect on retailers. Now, let's take a look at what David Conn, executive vice president of CBRE Tampa, sees as the biggest gamer changes in retail.

GlobeSt.com: What's the mood likely to be at Florida ICSC convention this year?

Conn: I think most people feel like a recovery has occurred—activity in the Tampa Bay area is definitely picking up—but the big question is, when are we going to see significant new construction? I think we'll start to see some new retail developments announced in the Tampa Bay area soon, but we probably won't have a grand opening until Fall of 2015 or Spring of 2016.
