Atlanta’s Shopping Centers Reflect Changing Consumer Preferences

by John Nelson October 12, 2018

Atlanta is recognizing that the nature of retail has changed. Shopping centers and mixed-use projects in Atlanta emphasize restaurants, fitness, entertainment and service retail. The changes in the market are happening quickly and consumers want the urban environment where everything they need is at their fingertips. Destination Retail The BeltLine is providing an unmatched opportunity for this business model. The Eastside trail proves that Atlanta has welcomed this type of retail. New developments without a true parking option or main street access have started to capture the population who use the BeltLine on a daily or weekly basis.

The most basic economic drivers common to both metro areas are population and employment growth. Like other Texas cities, the Austin and San Antonio metro areas continue to experience a steady stream of new residents and jobs. Although San Antonio often takes a backseat to Austin in various rankings, the Alamo City topped this year’s national list for largest raw numeric growth in population among all U.S. cities of 50,000 or more, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Austin landed at No. 12 in this category. However, Forbes ranks Austin second among America’s Best Cities for Jobs while San Antonio lags at No. 13. Joined at the Hip Because both cities and the small towns that surround them are growing at phenomenal paces, central Texas is starting to be identified in terms of Austin and San Antonio, not Austin vs. San Antonio. And although this concept has been talked about for years, retail development along …
