This week, it's a Philadelphia story. The King of Prussia Mall
has has more retail space than any other mall in the U.S. With
another 140,000 square feet recently added, the mall now
totals over 2.9 million square feet. Robert Hart and Kathy
Smith of Simon Property Group walk James through the new expansion
at the King of Prussia mall.
After that, James also sits down with Lauren Gilchrist,
the head of Philadelphia research at JLL. Lauren explains how the
city's downtown is revitalizing with new tech employers
and young residents. New retailers are also opening doors in order
to serve this market. Philly's suburbs are adding mixed use
developments that make the 'burbs feel more like the city.
