Retail spaces are getting smaller.

Lease sizes have fallen more than 30% over the past 15 years, and last year the average retail lease size was just over 3,000 feet - an all-time low.

A number of factors contribute to this trend, but what's most impressive is how retailers are evolving to add more value with less space and less inventory.

We're seeing successful retail businesses use spaces as a way to build deeper relationships with their customers - helping with personalized product discovery and even hosting events to help build community.

Salespeople are more focused on creating authentic, meaningful interactions than on moving maximum inventory and being "salesy".

Blended with the streamlined selling of eCommerce, physical stores and employees can now put greater emphasis on customer support and familiarizing customers with their brand, which can all be achieved with a smaller, more minimalistic space.

Over the past year, more than 300 businesses have posted their real estate requirements on the LeaseToMe marketplace to get greater exposure to lease options.

Throughout that process, we have learned a lot about what prospective tenants need.

One takeaway was particularly clear: small businesses need access to hands-on guidance to successfully navigate the leasing process.

So, in addition to the LeaseToMe platform, we are excited to announce the launch of our retail tenant advisory services in the five boroughs of New York City.

Our goal remains the same - to facilitate quality matches between tenants and landlords. Our advisory services will serve as another tool to help us achieve that.

"There are a handful of retailers that appreciate the profound shift that the hybridization of retail and the attendant changing role of the store imply.

Not only are they seeing physical stores as assets, instead of liabilities, they are moving aggressively to shift their store, supply chain and real estate strategies.

They are unbundling and re-bundling functions to focus on driving share growth regardless of the channel that gets sales credit. In fact, they see the customer as the channel and they embrace the blur that is modern shopping today.

They accept that winning, growing and keeping profitable customers in the future is not about tweaking the current formula."

With the landscape of office space changing due to remote and hybrid work, landlords are asking themselves, what will bring people back to the office?

Beyond improving the experience within the office itself, improving the districts as a whole by transforming ground-floor retail and indoor/outdoor public spaces will provide new value to office-goers.

In short, a deeper focus on place-making, creating environments that people want to come to, with new restaurants, parks and amenities will help revitalize struggling office districts.

There's still a lot of vacant retail space on the market. And in a country with the highest retail square footage per person (by far) there are some creative concepts emerging to fill this space.

Retailers are recovering but challenges still lie ahead. A strong relationship with landlords may be an important differentiator as the industry continues to evolve.

"Periodic" is a permanent pop up shop that acts as a retail incubator for brands testing the market and seeking access to turnkey brick and mortar retail. A thoughtful interior design allows for flexible use of the space to iterate on different retail themes. As the industry continues to evolve pop up models like this allow for a wider variety of ways to test and expand retail concepts in new geographies.

Preparation makes for a smoother leasing process.

Thinking deeply about your business's needs and priorities will help you identify your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves in a retail space and within the structure of the lease.

With lots of space available in the market, there are many options to consider, and many great opportunities.

Prior to 2020, the experience economy was thriving. Ticket sales for festivals and spectator events were rising. Driven by the millennial generation seeking memorable experiences over physical purchases, events were hot.

Then the pandemic hit, and the perfect storm of social media platforms and the desire for self-expression lead to the growth of the digital performance economy.

Influencers, online performers, and side hustle entrepreneurs sprang up left and right with a message to share. Easy eCommerce and social media platforms empowered artisans to build audiences. Clubhouse created a new way to interact and broadcast performances across networks. Creating a podcast now just requires downloading a free app.

All this leads us to believe that there is a transition underway, from selling experiences to supporting performances. Like it or not the age of the (micro) influencer is here. And companies who understand and capitalize on this transition will thrive.
