The webinar, hosted by Shopping Center Business and Texas Real Estate Business, covers the impacts of COVID-19 and how retail experts are bringing creativity to challenging situations.
Houston boasts a dynamic retail and restaurant scene that has been a requisite landing spot for new shopping, dining and entertainment users over the last few years. With a plethora of new mixed-use destinations in development or coming on line, can the market continue to absorb the new retail space despite pandemic-related restrictions and reduced occupancies?

- What initiatives have retail landlords and operators taken to mitigate the disruption brought on by COVID-19?
- What is the outlook in terms of leasing for the Houston market over the next six months?
- What kinds of retail deals are capital sources targeting right now, and what is the Houston market seeing in terms of deal velocity and volume?
- How will broader expectations for the Houston economy impact the performance of the retail market in the coming months?
