Neiman Marcus Group’s Post

I was saving my yearly LinkedIn post for my 3 year anniversary in a few weeks, but today’s launch of Brooklyn Storehouse is a far more exciting milestone (first iconic, stateside partnership- watch this space!). Joining Vibration Production in 2021 at the tail end of the pandemic seemed like a crazy risk to anyone looking in at the time (and many told me as much!). Having forged my career in the comfort of big international corporates, moving into event production, heading up a finance function and being tasked with a complete overhaul/creation/imbedding of all processes and a commercially driven team was a big move away from my comfort zone but little did I know, it was going to be much more than that original job description. Best. Move. Of. My. Life. What Broadwick has given/taught me: -Collaboration; not cold hearted competition. -Good Ideas are given a fighting chance. -No one worth knowing is going to take credit for your hard work. -No one is claiming to know it all or have all the answers. -Partners that share our vision fuel us, those that don’t get it, fuel us too! -You need the tiny details to form the bigger picture (always been my mantra but now reinforced daily!). -If you can’t be unapologetically yourself, you’re not in the right place. -Working with people that push and inspire you, will be your greatest education. -And so, so, so much more. Thank you for believing in me, trusting in me and holding me to the highest standard. If giving it your all, being highly adaptable and being fully invested isn’t for you, then Broadwick won’t be. It’s more unbridled passion, inspiring ways of thinking and delivering these to the highest standard across MUSIC•CULTURE•SPACE.

Washington Prime Group Inc.'s CEO, Christopher Conlon, spoke during the University of Cincinnati Real Estate Center 's May Roundtable this morning. Here are some notes: • Trending / "Hot" retailers in their portfolio include Scheels and Market by Macy's • "Pioneers" in their older malls who often change the direction of the asset include Warby Parker, lululemon, SEPHORA, Shake Shack, Buck Mason, Faherty Brand, and Nike. Often push for termination rights and start with % rent. Still demanding marketing $ and co-tenancy • Demolished 130 Million SF and only added 4 Million SF in the last 2 years. Highlighting the fact that open-air and enclosed mall owners are preferring to repurpose space over new construction • Challenges Ahead: Overall health of the consumer is a concern. While there is a strong employment rate, higher rates and credit card defaults are straining the lower socio-economic groups Well attended overall! #retail #realestate #cre #Colliers #CincyRetail

The New York Post reports that Macy's has sold their Brooklyn department store at 422 Fulton Street to a syndicate of New York real estate investors who publicly confirmed the deal. Sources with knowledge of the situation, however, say the investors paid Macy’s just $23M to secure the 440,000 sf which they operated in since 1995 at substantially below it's predicted market value. The investors are rumored to be looking at entertainment uses. #bigbox #retailleasing #redevelopment #newyork #brooklyn
