LAS VEGAS-In this exclusive video interview from the show floor of RECon 2014, Faith Hope Consolo, chair of the Douglas Elliman Retail Group, takes us on a North American tour of sorts.  City by city, she ticks off the hot and up-and-coming markets in both the US and Canada. And some of those markets just might surprise you. Of course, Consolo also gives some special consideration to her own backyard, the always-hot Manhattan scene.

What you'll learn in this video includes:

  • Why this recovery, as different as it is, is really much like those that have gone before;
  • The top North American retail markets; and
  • Which up-and-coming cities present the most potential and why.
