Still, some retail property owners feel that mobile apps are worth the investment and have pursued their development. Just before Memorial Day weekend, Madison Marquette, a Washington, D.C.-based firm with a 10.5-million-square-foot portfolio, rolled out an _iPhone app_ (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/asbury-park/id373462780?mt=8) for Asbury Park, its 400,000-square-foot lifestyle center in Asbury Park, N.J. The app gives shoppers updates on cultural events happening at the property in addition to informing them of retail sales and providing links to Asbury Park’s _Facebook_ (http://www.facebook.com/TheAsburyParkBoardwalk) and _Twitter_ (http://twitter.com/apboardwalk) pages. Madison Marquette chose Asbury Park for the roll-out because it has a large entertainment component and customers benefit from getting event updates for the center, in addition to using the app to scan for retail discounts.
