The copy line we used on our cover last year at this time along with a great rendering of a
commercial/retail development was, "The Best is Yet to Come."
Well, apparently it did. By all accounts, as you will see in the following report,
2013 was a very good year for the commercial/retail sector. It's a tough act to follow.
Will the upbeat times continue?
Are we still an attractive and potent market for offshore retailers and commercial sector investors?
Who are the old friends and unique newcomers opening their doors?
Is there still room for big-box, big-name, big-space entities?
How is the local commercial/retail ambiance, look and feel changing?
Who is committed to keeping Hawaii's charm, appeal and aloha intact? What is in progress or planned?
Who are emerging as surprisingly powerful commercial/retail developers?
Bottom line: Where will 2014 take us?
