“If you haven’t struck your pickleball court deal yet, you better get started.”

That was the advice of Bob Young, executive managing director of Weitzman, during a session titled “The Retail Renaissance” at ULI’s Fall Meeting in Dallas.

A trendy sport being played by all age groups, pickleball is just one of the ways developers are taking a fresh look at the retail space as malls seek to rework their tenant mix: by including more outdoor spaces.

Young was joined at the session by Steven Levin, founder and chief executive officer, Centennial Real Estate; Tip Housewright, president, Omniplan Architects; Terry Montesi, CEO, Trademark Property Company; and Barney McAuley, managing director, Edge Realty Capital Markets; Terrence Maiden, founder and CEO of Russell Glen Company, was the moderator.
