What brings energy, personality and vibrancy to cities, towns and mixed-use development projects? At the core of any great place are the restaurants, bars, cafes and entertainment concepts that help to shape the personality of the place they are a part of. Restaurants are often catalysts in the birth or re-birth of 'great places'. In almost every case of great precedents of neighborhoods in transition, the initial sparks were the business pioneers who opened destination restaurant experiences that "got people talking."
By understanding the fundamentals of what makes restaurants successful both individually and as part of a comprehensive food and entertainment strategy, you will be better equipped to implement a highly specialized approach to deal-making and securing world-class eateries for a New Urbanist Town Center.
In this educational, interactive and fun session, we will explore restaurants and the unique deal-making approach on how to source and secure the "best of the best" driving lease momentum and "Place" for your Town Center. Our panel of experts will include professional restauranteurs, developers, and restaurant deal-making specialists with experience in the leasing, development and operation of these successful projects.
