On the Floor at ICSC in New York
December 10, 2013
This week, we're on the ground at the ICSC New York National Conference, where we snapped Cushman & Wakefield Americas retail services leader Matt Winn, right, with NY senior director Steven Soutendijk. The top three retail stories to watch in 2014, according to Matt: the continued rise of luxury as it branches into off-prime locations (think Ulaanbaatar couture); further urbanization worldwide as people move back to cities (for one, 50% of Asians live in cities, projected to jump to 75% by 2040); and a greater focus on outlets ("on fire, everywhere, every brand," he says).
