The pregame show for the Super Bowl of retail real estate. 🎙️

Before the meetings. Before the parties. Before the deals get done at Las Vegas.

Start here.

Retail Retold went live from the Studios at the with Adam Ifshin for a conversation about what’s really happening in retail real estate right now.

“The industry finally weaned itself off the crack co***ne of new development.”

That changes everything.

Retail supply is constrained. Rents are moving. Capital is back in the sector. And operators who know how to create value are pulling away from the pack.

This isn’t theory anymore. It’s happening.

AI has officially entered the retail operations conversation.
And not hypothetically.

Joe V. and Alim Uderbekov of Surfaice and Chris Ressa discuss how retailers are already using AI across the store lifecycle, from site selection and lease administration to construction management and facilities operations.

The most interesting part of the discussion?
This is not really about chatbots.

It is about speed.

✅ Speed to open stores.
✅ Speed to make decisions.
✅ Speed to identify risk.
✅ Speed to operate portfolios.

You’ll also hear:
- Why retail may become one of AI’s fastest adopters
- The difference between generic AI tools and vertical AI systems
- Why “do more with less” has accelerated adoption
- How retailers are using AI to reduce friction across operations

One line that stood out:
“Trees to keys.”

A great conversation about where retail operations are heading next.

🛍️ Retail fundamentals are strong. Capital is active. 📈Retailers want to grow. 💰

So what will define Las Vegas this year?

Deals.

Chris Ressa and .iacono break down the forces shaping the conversations heading into the industry’s biggest week.

Vacancy remains near historic lows. New supply is still constrained. Quality opportunities are competitive. And across the market, investors, retailers, brokers, and operators are all asking the same question:

Where are the deals?

They also explore a major shift in how value is being created.

The era of financial engineering has given way to the age of the operator, where leasing strategy, ex*****on, traffic, NOI growth, and hands-on operating expertise matter more than ever.

That is exactly where strong platforms separate themselves.

If you are heading to ICSC Las Vegas, expect optimism, urgency, and a lot of deal talk.

There’s nothing better for a retailer than a clear map of where they’re going next.

Not where space is available, but where the opportunity actually is.

Jim Lampassi from Academy Sports + Outdoors puts it simply:
✅ They’ve mapped every trade area.
✅ Prioritized the right markets.
✅ And built a real plan for growth.

That’s what winning looks like right now.
The best retailers are not expanding reactively.
They’re executing against a strategy.

They know where they want to be, and they move with intention.

We’re seeing the same thing across open-air retail:
Fewer guesses.
More conviction.
Better outcomes.

Take a listen to how Academy is approaching expansion and why discipline is driving growth.

At , we’re seeing what happens when the right brand meets the right location.

recently opened its 13th store at our center, and the early response from the community has been strong.

Co-Founder Hessam Shirmohammadi made one thing clear in his conversation with Chris Ressa: this is a brand built with intention. From product to store design, every detail is focused on creating an experience that resonates.

And that matters.

Retail performance isn’t just about occupancy. It’s about connection. It’s about repeat visits. It’s about becoming part of the daily routine.

That’s what we look for in our tenant partners.

Excited to welcome Palmetto Superfoods to The UV, and to see what’s ahead.

She didn’t grow up in the business. She chose to learn it.

Chris Ressa and Anya Wolf get into what it really takes to build your own lane inside a family business.

Her background was in art.

Studio work. Galleries. Education.

But when she stepped into DLC, she didn’t step into a leadership role right away.

She started in due diligence. Learning how the business actually works, and that decision matters.

It has shaped how she sees retail, balancing what consumers want and economics.

She chose a different path to get a deeper understanding of the industry, and now it’s paying off.
