The #1 Reason Your Center Isn’t Leasing Faster | EP 81: I Own a Shopping Center, Now What?

In this episode of I Own A Shopping Center. Now What?, I break down a lesson I teach over and over again—don’t trust outdated online data to guide your leasing strategy. I recently walked a market where CoStar claimed there was 10% vacancy… but when I hit the pavement, it was closer to 30%. That’s a huge difference—and it’s the kind of thing that could kill your deal velocity, pricing strategy, or NOI if you’re not paying attention.I’ll share how that one walk led to a $14/SF rent increase, and why boots-on-the-ground intel always beats digital reports. Whether you're setting your 2026 strategy or trying to push your leasing team to the next level, this episode will help you lead with facts—not assumptions—and unlock value hiding in plain sight.Key Takeaways:<ul><li>CoStar isn’t gospel—walk the market yourself</li><li>In-person market studies will always reveal the truth</li><li>Vacancy myths = pricing mistakes</li><li>Push your brokers to ask better questions</li><li>Sales data is your leverage during renewals</li><li>Oversupplied office space needs creative pricing</li><li>Meet face-to-face with leasing agents and their bosses</li><li>Facts create leverage. Data creates power. Don’t wing it.</li></ul>

Why Hiring One Broker for Everything Is Costing You Money | EP 80: I Own A Shopping Center, Now What?

When it comes to leasing your shopping center, sticking to the “one broker to do it all” mentality could be your biggest mistake.In this episode of I Own A Shopping Center. Now What?, I’m challenging the conventional wisdom that says one broker can handle every type of vacancy. From big-box spaces to restaurant outparcels, medical offices, and second-floor spaces—each requires specialized expertise. After 30+ years in the game, I’ve seen firsthand that niche brokers move faster and close deals more efficiently because they already know the tenants you need.If you’re stuck with long-term vacancies or your leasing velocity is slower than you’d like, this episode will make you rethink your strategy. Sometimes, the best way to get better results is to challenge the norm and get a little more specific. 🔑 Key Takeaways<ul><li>One broker should never handle all types of vacancies</li><li>Big-box, restaurant, medical, and office spaces all require different expertise</li><li>Niche brokers lease faster because they know the right tenants</li><li>Smaller markets and ancillary spaces benefit the most from specialization</li><li>Tenant-rep brokers can be a powerful resource for specific uses</li><li>Hiring experts in the niche can outperform broad listing agreements</li><li>Riches are in the niches—depth trumps breadth</li></ul>When you challenge the traditional approach to leasing, better results are just a decision away.

What do Wine Enthusiast pop-ups, perfume clusters, and Soho sidewalks have in common? For Beth Azor—everything. In this episode, Beth Azor shares takeaways from her recent trip to New York City for ICSC and a surprise game-changing experience: a guided Retail Safari through Soho. From trend-spotting new brands to seeing firsthand how tenant mix and experiential design shape leasing success, Beth breaks down why staying curious and walking retail neighborhoods is one of the best strategies for shopping center owners.
