Retail traffic patterns shift dramatically during the final quarter of the year. For commercial property owners and investors in retail real estate, those changes reveal much more than shopping behavior. They provide valuable insight into how well a property performs under increased demand, how effectively tenants capitalize on seasonal activity, and how prepared an asset…
