What's Inside

The three-part The Future of Malls series from Coresight Research provides quantitative predictions and an analysis of sector dynamics for US malls—which we define as indoor, covered shopping centers—through 2030, including emerging opportunities, evolving retailer behavior and new trends in construction and mall space usage.

In this first report, we examine the bifurcation of the American mall.

Data in this research report include:

• Total number of malls and occupancy rates for Class A and B malls, 2016–2022
• Total number of malls and occupancy rates for Class C and D malls, 2016–2022

Companies mentioned in this report include: Brookfield, Macerich, Simon Property Group
