The development and retail worlds are reshaping at ever increasing pace.

New ideas, technologies and concepts are coming forth from every area of the world seemingly every hour…every minute…every second.

The real winners for tomorrow will be those that assuredly lead their market with global knowledge integrating the world of potential upon us. Right planning for these challenging times requires maximum fiscal pragmatism, cautious demand analysis and diligent use and design on target to the economic and cultural progressions of the specific market.

In 1989 Stan Eichelbaum and a small group of industry professionals started a company committed to the highest quality of services and driving the highest productivity and valuation of projects. Around the world over $8.3 billion of development and redevelopment projects have benefited from Marketing Developments/Planning Developments’ tailored-to-market-opportunity strategic development plans and feasibility research.

Over 200 projects with over 40,000,000 square feet of real estate have benefited from the industry’s most diligent productivity studies, use/merchandising/leasing strategies, trending research, site intensification evaluations, project/investment positioning and alternative income assessments.

Repeated success and the highest standards in the industry have spread us to clients and projects in 46 countries and to serving as economic development and planning advisory to twelve municipalities.

What keeps our standards the highest? Continuing global monitoring of our dynamic industry, new, more meaningful methodologies of feasibility, comprehensive global retailer knowledge and specific mix-assessment systems, pro forma feasibility interaction and the most comprehensive strategic checklists and analysis techniques in the business all targeted at right and maximum occupancy…a world of experience that included concepting the first “City” project in Dubai, doctoring up the first and most successful mall/medical mixed use integration, making the grade with the first mall/university mixed use, going outside the box with initial lifestyle successes and other leading edge, highly profitable initiatives globally.

Today, Marketing Developments/Planning Developments continues to provide state of the art and cost efficient support to development investment worldwide. Current projects include workout strategies reusing specialty and retail anchor spaces and re-concepting mix and use strategies to new opportunities, repositioning to assure maximum market targeting and much second opinion evaluation of offered work out methodologies. Analysis also focuses on alternative income, site intensification potential and maximizing government support interactions.

And, best of all, after over twenty years we are still a small group of industry professionals committed to the highest quality of services to the industry.
