Why hotels are setting up in shop in suburban shopping centers.
Imagine stepping outside your hotel, and instead of jumping in a car to shop or eat, you easily walk to all your favorite stores and restaurants.
Across the U.S., new hotels are enabling their guests to have local amenities on their doorstep – by backfilling vacant shopping center space. It’s not just an arrangement that benefits guests and the hotel chains; it’s also helping to revitalize American shopping centers that may have lost a middle-market anchor.
Over the past two years, large format anchors have closed. JCPenney, Macy’s, and Sears and Kmart are shutting down 324 stores between them across America this year, totaling upwards of 37-million square feet of space.
“Traditional department stores are facing headwinds as some consumers choose to shop in discount department stores, at specialty stores and on the web, all of which is contributing to the closure of middle-market anchor stores,” says Larry Jensen, Executive Vice President and Director of Development for JLL Retail.
New faces in old spaces
What will the new highest and best use for these department stores be? In some cases, they will be leased by other tenants of similar size, but shopping center owners and leasing agents are also evaluating what alternative uses could be woven into the vacant space.
“Recently vacated department stores can be leased out to new tenants, including hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues, grocers and even other department stores with better fiscal health prospects, but how the market and asset reacts to a store closing is based on location and other tenants within the center,” says Jensen.
The Crayola Experience, a family experience featuring hands-on activities for kids, in Minnesota’s Mall of America took the place of Bloomingdale’s. In Minneapolis’s Edina suburb, the Galleria shopping center just added a Westin.
Fitness chains have also taken over empty shopping center retail space, as have churches, healthcare providers, and grocery stores. “Rather than a vacancy, we always want a shopping center to have something that is activated and that will bring foot traffic to the asset,” says Jensen.
Converting vacant space to a modern hotel
The hotel-retail combination, where a hotel sits adjacent — or even attached — to a shopping center, is tried and tested in American cities. In recent times, hotel brands have been snapping up former retail space and converting it into luxury hotels. The Nines in Portland, Oregon, used to be a Meier & Frank department store, and plans are underway for Marriott-owned Moxy Hotels to repurpose the old Saks Fifth Avenue building in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
