Lay of the Land
As we have done for the past nine years, the Retail Group of Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP has, once again, taken on the daunting task of forecasting what to expect in the forthcoming year in four critical segments that affect the retail industry. In doing so, we analyzed the social, political and economic events of 2017, reviewed various economic data and projections and have come to certain opinions relating to the retail industry and where it is heading in 2018. Below is the product of our thinking, in the form of four articles of interest addressing such topics as capital markets, retailing, retail development and the impacts of residential development on retail:
- Capital for Retail in 2018 – Are We in for a Smooth Glide or a Nose Dive?, by Gary Glick
- Retail Looking Good for 2018, by Scott Grossfeld
- Retail Development – Riding the Tail Winds, byDaniel J. Villalpando
- Economic Indicators Are Positive, But Developments In Washington May Be Taxing On The Housing Market
