The Innovative Cities Lecture Series

“Live-Work-Play-Retire: Redefining America’s Malls” presentation by Danny Martin, Partner at SAS Architects & Planners, and Jamie Timoteo, Partner with Plante Moran Living Forward.

Lecture Summary:

Over the last couple of decades, there has been a paradigm shift in how consumers purchase products. The shift to online consumerism and away from large-scale malls has created a profound challenge throughout the country and an exciting opportunity for reimagining malls as neighborhoods and destinations.

Learn how including Senior Living Communities (SLC) within the development can provide the potential to activate the mall during all-hours of the week, help to bring outside visitors and new community activities, and integrate Senior Living environments into the surrounding community.
