Join us for Downtown Raleigh Alliance's second session of Downtown Forward

 

Food halls, elevated burgers, craft beer, high-end fitness. In recent years, these ideas have emerged as trends in retail and storefront concepts. What's next? And what does it take to get the big storefront deal inked?

 

Hear from local business owners about why they chose downtown, what sealed the deal on their locations, and what they'd look for in choosing their next space. Then, we'll hear from the people on the other side of the table. Experts in the real estate and broker community will share how they're approaching tenant mix and deal-making, which trends they're tracking and the concepts they hope to bring to downtown storefronts next! 

 

Sponsorship opportunities available now. Contact Ileana Rodriguez at IleanaRodriguez@DowntownRaleigh.org.
