01/16/2009 — 2009, 30th Edition just released. Reporting On Over 5,500 major Shopping Centers and Malls In US And Canada
The Directory of Major Malls has already started shipping and providing online access to its 2009 data. Having broken through the 5,000 barrier last year, this year’s 2009 products now include well over 5,500 listings of in-depth information on the major enclosed malls, open-air shopping centers, lifestyle/specialty, mixed-use and entertainment retail projects in the US and Canada.
“We are still going strong after 30 years and continue as the leading source of this specialized data to the shopping center, retail and financial industries.” said Publisher Tama J. Shor. “Our research team has continued to maintain the highest level of accuracy with our existing inventory of listings as well as continually increasing our coverage.”
“In these turbulent times for the retail industry,” she continues, “ it’s even more urgent that a source such as DMM is available to provide real estate and retail professionals with accurate, current information. With monthly updates to our online subscription site, Directory of Major Malls on the Web and the semi-annual releases of our licensed datasets and CD product, we’re doing just that. Our daily mission is to identify and capture the ongoing ownership and personnel changes, store openings and closings, along with any new and redevelopment project activities.”
Shor continues, “30 years ago when the Director was first developed, it was at a time when major enclosed mall development was in the early stages and the focus of many retail projects. All this time, we’ve maintained ringside seats and have watched shopping centers grow and transform several times over. The diversity in the types of retail complexes that now comprise this dominant part of the retail community is just amazing.”
“Each listing of the 5,500 included in The Directory of Major Malls is comprised of variety of details with regard to location, demographics, physical features, a categorized tenants list and contact details in the areas of development, leasing, marketing and management. That’s 2,000 major enclosed malls, and well over 3,000 open-air centers categorized as community, power and lifestyle/specialty centers,” Shor pointed out. “We’re also seeing an increased number of planned mixed-use communities that have include a relevant amount of retail space mixed in with residential, office, entertainment and hotel space,” said Shor.
“We’re quite proud of the achievements of our research team and the longevity of Directory of Major Malls as a significant source to the industry for such an extended period of time. Others have left the playing field but we’re still going strong,” Shor added.
