From lifestyle centers to power centers, strip centers to quaint neighborhood centers, and refreshes to occupied remodels to full redevelopment; Mackenzie's retail team has decades of experience with it all. We work daily with developers, landlords, operators and their tenants. We have the team, experience and tools to navigate both sides of the shopping center equation, ultimately resulting in the customer experiences that bring them back time and time again. From a fresh coat of paint to a multi-story redevelopment, our multi-discipline team can help you find the solution most suited to solving your challenges.  

Mackenzie's retail team, like most successful shopping centers, is anchored with Prototype Stores. We have a team that specializes in the development, management and multi-state roll-out of retail prototypes, from big box stores to in-store displays, national fitness brands, regional automotive specialties, and more.  Prototype development is all about developing a project that is cost-effective, design for expedient construction, is flexible. We have a "kit-of-parts" approach allowing for the cost-effective interchange of components to allow for a broad range of regional design requirements such as climatic, and local design standards. Adapting prototype store standards to urban environments where typical store prototypes are not compatible is a difficult challenge. Balancing Owner operational and budget considerations with urban challenges and strict design standards can be a challenging blend of conflicting goals, however, our team has designed award-winning urban store solutions that achieve the balanced outcome necessary for success. Our services are scalable, and often include development of standards and processes/procedures, prototype change management and integration, prototype variations for regional branding and construction preferences, store sizes, and decor variations. 

Retail is evolving rapidly.  The omnichannel fulfillment world is upon us and retailers must continue to adapt to compete. Many big box and other retailers are modifying their stores to shrink their walk-in sales floor with a more curated selection, while expanding their stock areas, modifying their sites, creating curbside pickup zones, or special online order pick up at store fulfillment areas, and even integrated robotic pick fulfillment normally reserved for larger warehouses.

Mackenzie is unique in that the E-commerce conversions for many big box stores combine not only our Retail, E-Commerce and Industrial Business unit expertise, but also our multi-discipline approach with in-house civil and structural engineering, land-use planning, transportation and landscape architecture to facilitate the entitlements, on and off-site site and building modifications necessary to integrate these omnichannel fulfillment solutions to a variety of retail uses.  We have the team and expertise to design, entitle and permit your omnichannel ecommerce projects large and small.
