Questions and Answers

What is Specialty Leasing?
Specialty or Temporary Leasing in a shopping mall environment is the fastest-growing segment of the retail industry today. Shopping malls provide seasonal, small or first-time retailers a prime location to sell their products or services without a large investment. More and more entrepreneurs are finding that creative, visually appealing small businesses yield not only high profits, but afford the owner flexibility and visibility.

When is the best time to lease space or test a new concept or product in the mall environment?
Since malls produce steady traffic year-round, anytime is a good time to test your product. Specialty Leasing opportunities are available year-round, with space leased on a first-come, first-served basis.
