The economics of retail centers in inner-city neighborhoods

Article Abstract:

The growing need for retail centers in inner cities, combined with the purchasing power of minorities, offer opportunities for the commercial real estate industry. Factors to be considered in the development of inner-city retail centers include economics, such as the size and ownership of the supermarket tenant, demographics, as well as the availability of subsidies. The success of Alexander Haagen Company Inc and the financial difficulties encountered by Matanky Realty Group Inc provide lessons for other developers. Their cases show that without the cooperation of the public, private and non-profit sectors, developers cannot succeed in this venture.

Home-building opportunities in Mexico

Article Abstract:

The improving economic conditions in Mexico and the approval of the North American Free Trade Agreements present significant prospects for US housing developers. The Mexican government has instituted various economic reform programs which culminated in the reduction of inflation from 132% in 1987 to 8% in 1993. As of 1993, the shortage of housing units country-wide was estimated to be 1.5 million. The areas which are predicted to have the highest demand for housing are the major trade and industrial areas.
