We get asked all the time, “What is a Lifestyle Power Center?” And since they make up so much of our portfolio here is the answer.

A lifestyle power center also known as a regional power center is a type of retail development that typically combines traditional shopping elements with lifestyle-oriented amenities. Here are some key characteristics:

Retail Mix: These centers usually feature a combination of big-box retailers (like home improvement stores, electronics retailers, or discount department stores) alongside smaller specialty shops, boutique retailers, and service-oriented businesses (such as fitness centers and salons).

Convenience and Amenities: Lifestyle power centers often emphasize convenience by including various dining options, entertainment venues (like theaters and bowling alleys), and communal spaces. This combination aims to create an inviting atmosphere where shoppers can enjoy a wide range of activities in one location.

Location and Design: Typically positioned in suburban areas or high-traffic locations, these centers are designed with pedestrian-friendly layouts, ample parking, and landscaping that promotes a pleasant shopping experience. The overall design often encourages visitors to spend more time at the center beyond just shopping.

A lifestyle power center aims to cater to consumers’ desire for convenience and a comprehensive shopping experience, making it an attractive concept in modern retail real estate.

What does it take to reach the American Dream? It seems like it keeps becoming more and more of a stretch.
