This panel discussion will allow tenant rep experts from both the retail and industrial sides to share their direct experience working with retail occupiers’ clients in solving last-mile issues, and strategies from micro fulfillment centers to pick up in store to repurposing “dark stores.” Hear about the challenges in reconciling existing retail footprints in a growing e-commerce environment, overcoming entitlement and zoning issues, site selection criteria for last mile, key issues in “dark store” conversions and more.
