Omni Channel Retail

Developers are transforming traditional brick-and-mortar retail locations into successful lifestyle destinations.

Ecommerce is still in its infancy and will continue to grow significantly in its share of retail sales over the next five years.

The brokerage firm hires Greg Lewis and Ryan Spradling as the industrial market continues to heat up.

Ecommerce isn't to blame for the shift in retail. Rather, it is changing consumer habits, but some brands are getting it right.

The company is entering a phase of aggressive acquisitions.

But the sector is still expected to remain robust for 2020.

The portfolio consists of primarily Class A properties in Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus and Milwaukee.

Blackstone Real Estate Partners IX acquired the portfolio, which included 60 million square feet of last-mile, infill light industrial assets.
