Matt Poe on LinkedIn: Seeing people enjoy the space is always the best part of design! Thank you… (2024)

This area is prime real estate for so many empty lots and buildings. It’s overdue for significant redevelopment. There are talks about a specific European grocery store going into this space. #commercialrealestate #businessdevelopment #commercialinvestment

Dear Mrs Dickinson, Mr Mark Robinson, and Councillor Jane Ashworth, OBE.I am writing to you today to inquire about the possibility of rejuvenating, reinvigorating, and reinventing Tunstall High Street. As you may know, Tunstall High Street has been considered the worst high street in the United Kingdom. We believe that with our team of experts, we can turn Tunstall High Street around and make it a vibrant and thriving place once again. We would be honored to have the opportunity to work with you on this project and believe that it would be a win-win for all of us.While we value and respect your insights, we also believe that a fresh perspective can often lead to innovative solutions. Therefore, we would greatly appreciate if you could share your ideas and thoughts with us. We are particularly interested in hearing any novel concepts or strategies that you may have been considering over the past five or six years. We believe that your unique perspective could potentially lead to breakthroughs that we may not have been able to achieve on our own. We eagerly look forward to hearing your ideas and engaging in a productive discussion.If you believe that last paragraph, do not, as I was just being facetiousThank you for your time and consideration.Sincerely,Frank ToughPS Mr. Mark Robinson, your most successful store gets 6.8Million visitors a yearCamden gets 28 million visitors a year.Covent Garden around 44 million visitors a year. You say that the high Street task force is your second job well, give it to somebody else who produce results the least I would expect is a 25% increase in footfall in 100 working daysI.e. me and my team, if we can’t produce results do not pay us but when we do step aside and let the experts show you how to do it second job diabolical excuse#Retail#Redesign#Invigorate#VisualMerchandising#FunShoppingExperience

Last day of operation for Starbucks today in Dunbar on Vancouver's west side neighbourhood and bucket truck ready (photo left) to assist with branded sign removal. This transition from street front retailers housed in 50 year old plus low rise wood frame buildings going to multi-family above new concrete at grade retail is painful given the 3 to 4 year wait until new stores open their doors. But that is one community price of much needed densification along arterial roadways in the region. The nuanced development challenge is fully integrating retail units into the larger scale residential above that works for the independent retailer providing a unique offering and adding to sidewalk interest and animation. And Landlords taking a wholistic and long term view for lease rate escalations for savvy homegrown operators are reaping the dividends of this development approach. There will be a growing inventory of “bite sized” strata retail units available giving store owners the opportunity to own their retail location. The industry capability is definitely there to make this transition happen and many great retail store examples are springing up already such as Parthenon food market on Broadway (pictured right) that manages to be “new” and “established” at the same time. Given block after block of old street front retail will be redeveloped in the region over the next decade, more collaboration than ever is required between developers, architects and related professionals, Landlords, Tenants, municipalities, lenders, and the real estate brokerage community to make all this “new day” street front retail take full advantage of its highly visible and efficient space.With patience and industry working to our retail development potential, it will be worth it…#CRE #retailproperty #retail #development

Currently, there are 15 stores in South Carolina, and the company feels there is room for growth in the state because of its already strong brand presence that has done well here, said Temme. “It’s a really good time to grow as we have re-emerged from the pandemic,” he added. “We are now pushing the gas pedal and plan to have more than 70 stores added over the next six years."This year alone, HoneyBaked Ham will be opening eight stores, including one in Surfside that should be open in August by a father-son partnership, Temme said. This will be their third franchised store, he added, and there will be more to come in South Carolina.The company is also rebranding and remodeling all existing stores on a scheduled basis, said Temme. They will have a fresh, new look and feel from the signage to the interiors, which will be outfitted with a more modern design over the next five-to-six years. @GSA Business Report #honeybakedham #realestate #ccim #commercialrealestate #industrialrealestate #Flexbuildings #flexibleworkspace #logisticsrealestate #leasing #tenantrepresentation #realtor #CCIM #lease #cre #realestateagent #commercialproperty #greenvillesc #FlagshipCommercial #warehousespace

What makes a retail park flourish in today's challenging economic landscape? 🛍️💡 Let's delve into the remarkable transformation of Teesside Park, which stands as a true testament to British Land's CEO, Simon Carter, describing retail parks as the "winning retail format." 👍Firstly, I find it fascinating how the three 'A's - affordability, adaptability, and accessibility - are not just buzzwords but real pillars that have steered Teesside Park towards success. Let's look into this...Adaptability- the introduction of a 10,000 sq ft extension for Primark. These actions demonstrate how flexibility in design can effectively serve modern retail demands at Teesside Park.🏢Accessibility - With three new bus routes after proactive lobbying by British Land, that has truly broadened Teesside Park's appeal, bringing in around 3,000 additional visitors each week. 🚌Affordability- lower costs have attracted a diverse range of tenants. It's not just retail that's thriving here - the leisure sector is burgeoning, with expansions like Hollywood Bowl's new mini golf course and the exciting inclusion of Ninja Warrior. 🎳 #RetailRevolution #TeessidePark #BritishLandRead more by clicking the article below

I know most people think #postmodernism is really over, but I'm going to stick my neck out and say that this looks like the first really post-modern #mall. There are post-modern buildings that are shopping malls, but they all have modernist approaches to #place - i.e. they have limited interactions with surrounding #streets and #neighbourhoods, are internally focused, and are not part of a wider urban context. So by adopting pre-modern approaches to place (and that means working with surrounding streets and neighbourhoods) we get a post-modern take on place.

I'd like to think it is exciting news for Barnsley following the acquisition of the Alhambra Shopping Centre by Barnsley Council - it presents a unique opportunity to revitalise further the town centre. (https://lnkd.in/ekbiuepD)Following the development of the GlassWorks there are several strategies the council can employ to reinvigorate the Alhambra Shopping Centre:Community Engagement: Foster a sense of community ownership by involving local residents and businesses in the revitalisation process. Their input can provide valuable insights and ideas for the future of the Alhambra.Diverse Tenant Mix: Attract a diverse range of tenants and uses, including independent businesses, to create a unique experience. A mix of well-known brands and local treasures can make the Alhambra a destination for all.Entertainment and Events: Develop a calendar of events and entertainment options that draw visitors year-round - building on the GlassWorks. This can include live music, art exhibitions, and family-friendly activities.Improved Aesthetics: Enhance the aesthetics of the shopping center with modern design elements, public spaces, and pedestrian-friendly areas. A visually appealing environment can entice shoppers.Barnsley Council's acquisition of the Alhambra presents a tremendous opportunity to breathe further new life into this shopping center. #Barnsley #AlhambraRevival #CommunityFirst
