Retail properties are real estate spaces specifically designed for businesses that sell goods and services directly to consumers. These properties can include shopping malls, standalone stores, and strip malls, where various retailers operate. They are typically located in high-traffic areas to attract more customers and enhance sales. Investing in retail properties can provide income through rent paid by tenants. The success of these properties often depends on factors like location, foot traffic, and the overall economic environment. Retail properties can also be affected by trends in consumer behavior, such as the rise of online shopping and changes in shopping habits.
