Episode 28 - ICSC RECon Recap – Tom McGee

During the busiest day of the RECon convention in Las Vegas, Phil sits down with the President and CEO of ICSC, Tom McGee, for a cup of coffee.   The RECon convention was a bustling, energetic, invigorating convention, and Tom McGee was proud to be an integral part of it.  Tom’s discussion focuses on the demographics of retail, the growing top line revenue of brick and mortar stores, and the continued integration of e-commerce and experiences into existing retail establishments.    It was an honor and a pleasure to have Tom share his views on the current real estate climate, and expound upon the services provided by ICSC to its many members.

Episode 17 - Liz Holland

The Back to School Special.  Phil sits down with Liz Holland, the CEO of Abbell Credit Corporation and Abbell Associates.  Liz takes us to school on current retail real estate trends, what Amazon is going to do to compete in the grocery store market. She also discusses the under-utilization of the female workforce causing a limited economic growth environment, and the fight for sales fairness legislation (a/k/a the main street fairness act).  Liz explains the value of brick and mortar and how recent online retailers are transferring to them, creating a situation where the line is murky between online sales and in-store sales. 

Liz is the former chairman of ICSC (and currently serves on the board of trustees), an accomplished attorney, commercial real estate owner, an asset manager, and a renowned speaker.  Liz is able to identify current trends in the market and use her creativity and insight to provide value for real estate owners and investors alike.
