Retail Real Estate

Good Magazine provides us with this interesting graphic comparing the number of acres various retailers occupy. While we enjoy the comparison, it seems like using Manhattan as a reference point is somewhat odd and misleading. Yeah, we suppose lot’s of people have a good idea about how big Manhattan is and can therefore use it as a reference, but we still think it’s kind of an irrelevant comparison. Maybe comparing it to the number of acres schools and universities occupy would be more telling? Any thoughts?
