Retail isn't dead, it just needs better ideas.
In this episode of the Built2Suit Podcast, Nathan Griffis talks with Josh Harris, Senior Vice President at Crossmark Services, about the evolution of retail real estate and the misunderstood “death of the mall.”
Josh argues that malls didn’t fail because of demand, but because of rigid financial thinking and a lack of creativity. He shares insights on how small businesses, flexible leasing, and community-focused design can revive retail and office spaces, along with advice for young professionals entering the industry. The conversation highlights why adaptability, not just capital, will shape the future of commercial real estate.
