First of all, all the chains have certain demographic requirements. Traffic and proeprty location are key as well.So is parking. Give 1 or 1.5 acres in AP now....
Since I've been marketing a property on the West Side (RR PLAZA) for my clients - I've probably spoken to over 500 agents/investors. Marketing a property, for now, on the West Side of the tracks on and the East Side are different things - but it is improving. The Spingwood Ave plan must be done ASAP to tie things together. A long time back we had this discussion about nationals or not. Nationals, like it or not, bring with it the Brand and national requirements - like operating hours and standards (and prices). A national on Cookman or surrounding area will help bring some stability AND traffic - traffic that shop in the "original" shops and keep them afloat the next couple years. You can try to make AP as anti-kid as possible - and you will lose x amount of spending $ - that could make or break an area. While Harry's may have been "cool" for about 2 hours - maybe an Applebee's or Fridays may still be operating today. You can have a national that will follow architectual guidelines are well - if you make 'em. So if you have some space for rent or sale - feel free to call me - I'll let you know what national may express interest...bank, fast food, drug store, cleaner.... Yahoo!
