24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: I'm Tom Keenan New York. This is a treat we

25
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: could literally go. It's like Howard Divinovan's, but calmer and

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: more professional. Think of Howard Divinovo's at Harvard Business School.

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: And that's sort of where you get Byron carlac is

28
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: with us with p w C. Price Water. I'm sorry,

29
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: it's Price Waterhouse Cooper's because that old t W seen

30
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: in Byron has a Texas accent. That's what you do

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: when you work with Tramwell Crow for a million years.

32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: I go to your old website and there are no

33
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: males on that website. Even Crow Holdings is like almost

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: embarrassed about malls. Are malls dead? You know? It's interesting.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they are dead, but they're changing relevance.

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: And so when you think about what's happening, there's a

37
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: huge disruption in the middle. And there this comment that

38
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: we keep caring. Mediocrity in the middle is dead. Experiences

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: are actually pretty exciting. There's a lot going on in

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: some of the better malls, and they're grading themselves A,

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: B and C. The A malls are doing quite well,

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: but everything is being disrupted by e commerce and relevance.

43
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: Do they get bulldozed? The seam walls, the B malls

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: get bulldozed. What becomes of those photos that we see

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: in every article about the death of your world. Well,

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: in real estate, it's called adaptive reuse. And once you

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: see a developer take control of a site again, excuse me,

48
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: adaptive reuses what we do with a coffee continue. So

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: imagine that one anchor at one end being torn down

50
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: and released to someone else, or becoming an apartment building

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: or a hotel. If you think about when those malls

52
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: were built, generally many of them were built because traffic

53
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: counts were high in the location was good, and so

54
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: you have great sites that can be redeveloped or repurposed.

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is we're over retailed in America

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: twenty four feet per person twenty four gross rentabal square

57
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: feet per person, more than double any other industrialized country

58
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: in the world, and more than double any other con Yes, yes,

59
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: I believe the next country is eleven square feet per person.

60
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: He's looking at you, David, jump in here because Byron

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: is looking at his numbers from BWC. Byron I was

62
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: at I was at a wedding a couple of weekends

63
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: back outside of Washy should have fifty miles outside of town,

64
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: and we were. We were in what I think you

65
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: could call them all. It felt like a created village. However,

66
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: the notion of them all has changed, hasn't it what

67
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: you what you'd find there and what it looks like,

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: it really has. I mean, think about the different uses

69
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: you see in them all today compared to what you

70
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: did even five years ago. Where automotive companies are using

71
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: them as showrooms. You see health, wellness and fitness taking

72
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: the place of traditional apparel retailers. Uh. You see landlords

73
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: introducing new concepts that inspire visitation with families and children.

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: You see that um health health uses taking space in

75
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: retail configurations, and so yes, the the uses are changing

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: to become more relevant to the demographics. When you look

77
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: ahead a year, five years, what's the what's the role

78
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: of a brick and mortar retail establishment going to be

79
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: what's gonna, what's gonna, what's gonna compel me to go

80
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: to that place? Well, so remember you know nine of

81
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: sales are still done in brick and mortar uh situations.

82
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: So e commerce is growing at twenty a year, but

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: it still represents only eight and a half to eleven.

84
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: You guys always go to the revenue line down the

85
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: income statement and given mall, as David was mentioning, it

86
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: had given mall, where's the profit? Is it in the food,

87
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: is it in clothes? Or is there just no profit? Well,

88
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: so the branded, the igh end branded retailers still pay

89
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: the highest rents. Rents in many mall settings this year

90
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: were flat to down two. So the rental strength, the

91
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: ability for landlords to control the rents in many retails

92
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: situations has changed to their detriment. However, the relevance of

93
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: brick and mortar is still very important to the retail

94
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: shopping experience. Based on how much is still done in

95
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 1: brick and mortar environments. Out of these out of these

96
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: businesses set themselves apart. You broke in most recent note,

97
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: there's no room for mediocrity. Well, what's the chief thing

98
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 1: that that a retailer has to do it. At this point,

99
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 1: we believe it's the experience if the product can't differentiate itself.

100
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: And there are there are designers that are really trying

101
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: to add whimsy and reason to come try on their

102
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: new Spring lines. For example this Spring, whether it's a

103
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: pop up shop that's selling hats for the Derby or Easter,

104
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: or a store that treats you like a guest in

105
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,159
Speaker 1: a hospitality experience that makes your experience that much better

106
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: than sitting in front of your computer. I think it's

107
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: driven by product on one end and experience on the other.

108
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: Can I go to the French elections? Now? We got

109
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: to do that. Here's a here's a factory, folks fare

110
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,280
Speaker 1: right now. There are thirteen thousand, three hundred tons of

111
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: steel in the Mall America. That's two Eiffel Towers. The

112
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: Mall of American Minnesota is like the mother of all malls.

113
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: What's its future? That's a great question for that for that,

114
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: not for that particular mall especially, you wonder can they

115
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: keep the experience relevant so when it opened and really

116
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: still people go to Minneapolis for mall vacations, for that

117
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: particular vacation. But inside. Can they keep it relevant with

118
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: the rides of the family experiences, the hospitality experience in

119
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: the hotels. It has to be worth that visitation, and

120
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: the question is can the landlord keep it relevant in

121
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: that regard. We would like to have you back again

122
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: to do a longer treatment. This is really the Amazon
