To me, every good initiative that provides us with a better solution for our day-to-day problems especially when it's environmentally friendly, has my full support. My goal in life is to inspire creativity at all levels. so guys; Keep up the good job! 😊 Brand storytelling is a perfect way to build your brand and, most importantly, connect with your customers. Their feedback, whether good or bad, can be used by a skilled team to positively increase brand awareness. #ndikimic Alberts #branding #brandstorytelling

There is no better place to build brand than the AEC industry. We operate in a world where strong purpose + people + processes + projects = great partnerships. And if marketing is storytelling, site visits are an opportunity to write another chapter in the book of Birch. In this case, Jesse Ortiz, Lana Blanchard, Clint Wilson and Jeff Helland are on a mission to help people, help people by leading a team through a project that has faced endless rain and now, blistering heat. My role is to listen, learn and capture it all. Because their story is a story worth sharing. This is how we build a brand that builds business. #marketing #brand #brandbuilding #business #branding #construction #SMPS #architecture #design #businessdevelopment #engineer #trade #subcontractor #AEC #TEXO #Dallas #Texas #branding #social #trending #relationship #purpose #drone #video #photography

In retail real estate the most in-demand space right now are second generation restaurants from 1,800-2,800 SF with grease traps, hoods, and walk-in cooler’s/freezers. These should demand a premium rent and you should have multiple prospects right away if marketed correctly. Choose wisely! Focus on restaurants with ideally 2 or more locations first. On the tenant rep side, understand the significant competition for spaces such as these and expect to pay close or at the full ask with minimal to no TI depending on the specific location and your credit. As a tenant rep advise your clients accordingly. Follow 👉🏻 #FloridaRetailPro #CCIM #ICSC #shoppingandtheretailindustry #retailrealestate #CRE #landlordrepresentation #tenantrepresenation

When you think about larger grocery-anchored or large power centers you usually have co-tenancies (Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s as examples) that attract other National tenants. It creates a waterfall effect of tenants that like to locate next to one another. When you have an unanchored retail center; you are typically reliant on traffic and visibility. It is certainly easier to attract mom/pop tenants as the center will not fit into the national tenancy criteria. I think what is generally harder to assess/calculate from afar are what I consider mini-anchors (i.e. the popular local neighborhood restaurant). They also drive traffic, eyeballs, bring the local community together and can be great to locate next to. Should we create a new classification for these mini-anchors in our (void) analysis ?

Mission is growing!!

It's been on a downward trajectory for awhile but when even the acclaimed In 'n Out burger chain decides it's too dangerous to keep open their store there - well it really is an all-time low for Oakland, California. It seems the business is putting staff safety in front of profits....their car park has become a crime hotspot. Given this is the chain's first ever closure since it started in 1948 that's saying something. The closure marks a further decline for Oakland - a city that has, already this year, seen downtown Subway outlet and a Raising Cane restaurant shutter their doors - largely due to crime. They follow on from Starbucks, Denny's and Black Bear Diner and a host of retailers and are the 'tells' of an area - if not a city in a civic death spiral. Across 'the Bay' - the internationally famous San Francisco is having its own problems - with city's once prestigious San Francisco Centre (until recently owned by Westfield before they handed he keys back in June 2023), being renamed Emporium Centre San Francisco. But a slew of key brand tenants have gone - Lego, JHollister, Adidas and J Crew among them. They have now reportedly been joined by L’Occitane and Sephora. I term it 'brand flight'! But in the case of these two cities I call it 'brand mass evacuation'! Whatever is going on it's urban decay and it's a civic tragedy and I do wonder if there is a calling for some sort of International Civic Rescue Squad - much in the same way that Saudi Arabia has pulled in what I terms as a 'dream team' of designer, developers, digital eagles and those who can deliver a project. This would be a 'Civic Rescue' A-team who could turnaround the fortunes of troubled locations around the world. Who would be on such a team? I have a few ideas! https://lnkd.in/dahZANTf #InnoutBurger #Oakland #crime #urbandecay #urbangrain #California #civicdecay #brandflight #turnaround #SanFrancisco #Westfield #EmporiumCentreSanFrancisco #Civicrescue #retail #retailing #leisure

Did you know that there's a rooftop bazaar at the rooftop (you guessed it) of City Square Mall? The mall in JB. I never did despite having visited City Square Mall dozens of times! 😂 This is because I usually have an agenda when I head out, and exploring every inch of this mall hadn't been on my agenda. After hectic 3Q23, I took leave to wander around JB to quieten my heart and soul. I took my time to fully check out a couple of places, speak to my kind Grab drivers, and eat. My soul is refreshed. 😊 It's back to analyzing the US and SG stock markets, preparing for my courses on technical analysis tmr onwards. Do you also enjoy exploring places to relax? #usstockmarket #stockmarket #stocktrading #stockmarketeducation #stockinvesting #technicalanalysis #personaltime
