On the ICSC Floor
At the Weingarten Realty booth, CEO Drew Alexander tells us the firm won't look to add trendy flavor-of-the-month design features into existing or future centers. Drew tells us a classic, elegant look for common areas and storefronts is what keeps a project timeless—and more importantly, keeps customers coming back. LA, Seattle, and DC are growth areas for the Houston-based company, Drew tells us, and it's excited to be a part of one of Washington's largest-scale projects, developing the retail portion of the Walter Reed Medical Center redevelopment.
