• Enclosed malls

Since the late 1970s, DMM has evolved from a print directory into an online source of retail data with robust query functions, integrated mapping tools, custom reports, contact lists and licensed datasets.

What We Do

Unlike the old days of printed directories, online data at ShoppingCenters.com is continuously updated by DMM’s researchers for accurate delivery to customers and licensees, with hundreds of thousands of data point changes every year, quarterly mobile visitor traffic observation, trade area analysis and retailer and property metric calculations.

DMM is always actively pushing to expand the ShoppingCenters.com dataset and functionality. Inventory listings have exploded in size and breadth to include store locations, site/leasing plans, VIP real estate contacts and so much more. DMM’s network of technology partners advance the evolution from printed directory even further by using shopping center data in their intelligence solutions to provide site location analytics and modeling.

2021 brought forth a new look to the site and integration of new features and data enhancements and metrics provide further deep insight into the projects far beyond the basic size, location and tenants and contact details.

This includes data enhancements, trade area map imagery, graphs and more such as:
