U.S. Retail Property Development spending is finally on the rise again. Retail property development spending increased 15% in 2014 vs. 2013, and the increase continues as we approach the end of 2015. While retail property development improvement is slow and far from peak levels almost a decade ago, retail construction is surely coming back. However, brick-and-mortar retailers face a newer challenge: contending with the surge in consumer online shopping. Brick-and-mortar retailers will have to work harder to capture their share of new spending. One way to do this is through enhancements to the tangible in-store experience through new retail construction projects.

A smart commercial construction firm can assist with in-store experience by bringing trend-setting designs to life through professional execution. Today, retail shoppers respond to a friendly “hometown” feel, natural elements, textured finishes, and the perception of a truly unique experience. Retailers are updating spaces with new retail construction projects and renovations: using more reclaimed wood elements, accents made from non-traditional materials, and neutral palettes to better showcase products as they design, build and remodel retail spaces.

Lizard Thicket boutique, a 90 Degree Construction client, sells the latest, most fashion-forward styles and accessories at surprisingly affordable prices. These boutiques are currently located in three states, and plan further expansions. 90 Degree Construction has worked with Lizard Thicket in Tennessee and Georgia, with a focus on executing smart designs that include some of the hottest retail finish trends today. These Lizard Thicket boutiques feature reclaimed wood, tin, and an attractive gray palette.
