by Julia Sanders June 4, 2021

ORLANDO, FLA. — InvenTrust Properties Corp. has unveiled plans to redevelop Suncrest Village, including replacement of the Publix grocery store that anchors the property. The 93,358-square-foot shopping center is located at the corner of University Boulevard and Dean Road at 10021-10115 University Blvd. in Orlando. Construction is slated to take approximately 12 months to complete. InvenTrust’s planned improvements to the center include the replacement of the existing Publix building with a new, larger prototype Publix store to be constructed in the same location. The small-shop tenant facades at Suncrest Village will receive new paint, lighting, replacement of the mission tile roof, a new sign band on portions of the canopy, improved landscaping and green trellis areas with accent lighting. InvenTrust plans to employ sustainable processes throughout this renovation. For example, LED lighting has been added to the center’s parking lot and, during demolition, reusable materials will be sorted and reclaimed to reduce landfill waste.

The center features local, regional and national restaurants, services and retailers, such as Leslie’s Swimming Pool Supplies, Mei’s Kitchen, Fuji Yama Sushi, Subway and University Wine & Spirits.

Now that the Dust is Settling – The Future of Retail in a Post-Pandemic World

by Jeff Shaw June 4, 2021

By Carlos Lopez, Executive Vice President, Hanley Investment Group Real Estate Advisors The fears from the COVID-19 pandemic and the accompanying government-mandated shutdowns and social distancing measures transformed the way Americans, lived, worked, shopped, ate, exercised and watched movies. In many ways, the habits formed during the shutdowns have opened up opportunities to radically change many aspects of life. For the retail industry, the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 was profoundly devastating. For small businesses and restaurants forced to shut down for extended periods of time or quickly modify their business model to accommodate the mandated closures, they were unable to operate and many were forced to close permanently. On the chain retail front, already struggling from the changing consumer preferences and the forces of e-commerce, the lockdowns and mandated closures by governmental agencies was the final nail in the coffin for many. In 2020 alone, an unprecedented number of retailers declared bankruptcy and by November of 2020, nearly 49 chain and national retailers had declared bankruptcy. The amount was greater than retail bankruptcies occurring in 2009 during the financial crisis. Some of the popular retailers and household names of these retailers included: JC Penney, Neiman Marcus, GNC, Brooks Brothers, Sur la …

Vaccines, Stimulus Checks are Giving US Retail Sector a ‘Shot in the Arm,’ Says NRF Chief Economist

by John Nelson June 3, 2021

The U.S. federal government is playing an active role in consumer spending with three stimulus packages passed in the past 12 months, which is helping support the economy during this pandemic-induced recession. Americans have received thousands of dollars from the government and are opting to spend their newfound discretionary income on more goods and services, not to mention savings and paying bills. “It helped a lot of individuals get by,” says Jack Kleinhenz, chief economist for the National Retail Federation (NRF), a trade organization for the retail industry. “It was also a good shot in the arm for holiday sales. We had a very good holiday season, a much stronger one than what we forecasted. It was up 8.3 percent year-over-year for November and December combined.” Similarly the widespread implementation of the COVID-19 vaccines manufactured by Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are helping boost in-store shopping for goods and services around the country as people become more confident in patronizing stores and restaurants. As of this writing, about 50.8 percent of all Americans have received at least one dose of one of the COVID-19 vaccines, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The declining infection rates …
