Kosmont Retail Now!® is an economic development tool for a public agency’s arsenal to attract and retain retail and other active uses. It is a comprehensive and proactive platform that identifies existing conditions, sets a path, targets tenants and produces results in a technology driven, omnichannel world. Today’s trends in the evolution of retail include experience, entertainment, and place. Retail blends well with other real estate uses (“Blended-Use”) such as residential, office, hospitality, and civic. Additionally, distribution facilities are assuming a larger role within the retail real estate landscape given the growing presence of e-commerce.
