Your Guide to the Trade Expo 2003

May 1, 2003 12:00 PM, By Alex McGrath

More than 500 exhibitors will be at the 2003 Trade Expo, with all sorts of products and services for the retail real estate industry. Before you get started, consult this handy guide.

When you get to the International Council of Shopping Centers' annual convention, you don't see all the things that can go wrong they're all taken care of before the first visitor sets foot inside the 3.2 million-square-foot Las Vegas Convention Center. That's because the ICSC staff has seen it all and dealt with it.

Phyllis Petersen, director of leasing and dealmaking for the ICSC, says her worst moment in 25 years of helping run the show was the time, about 10 years ago, when the Teamsters staged a wildcat strike. Petersen says the Teamsters, whose workers are hired to assemble booths, just got up and left en masse on the day before the show, leaving half of the booths unconstructed and the trade show floor in disarray. Union members were angered to see exhibitors taking construction into their own hands. They eventually came back three hours later, but for those three hours we were in utter panic mode, she says.

Tradeshow Weekly ranked the ICSC convention in Las Vegas the 14th largest convention in the country, across every industry in 2002. Take a compass and a new pair of shoes when you walk the floor because this show is huge, says David Henderson, vice president of American Locker Security Systems. This year will be the 28th annual ICSC convention in Las Vegas and the trade group is anticipating a sell-out crowd. On May 18, 28,000 of the industry's top owners, developers, architects and service providers will join retailers, investors, analysts and everybody who is anybody in retail real estate to hear about the latest trends in the business, swap business cards and trade war stories.

Over on the Trade Expo side of the hall, the ICSC anticipates another sell out. Some 525 booths have been rented by 320 exhibitors, who have everything the operator of a retail center might need from site-location software to finishing materials and talking trash cans. It's a great place for interacting with clients and seeing folks we don't get to see most of the year, says Ken Hamilton, vice president of IPC International, a security provider.

This year, instead of hosting the welcome reception at the reception hall in the Hilton, the ICSC has moved the event to the convention floor. This gives the exhibitors a networking opportunity that they didn't have in the past, says Greg Jira, ICSC's manager of trade expositions. We are basically bringing the party to them.

Working in conjunction with the ICSC, Retail Traffic has produced this guide to the Trade Expo so you can plan your trip down its numerous aisles and use your time to get the most information and new ideas with the least damage to your feet. Here are some highlights of the exhibition, followed by a directory organized by categories of products and services.

ARCHITECTURE

Every year, architects and designers use the Trade Expo to highlight the latest trends in retail design. Two years ago it was urban design. Last year it was outdoor lifestyle centers. This year it looks like power towns and other hybrid power centers will be in the spotlight. The times of soccer moms parking far away and pulling out their strollers to walk through the town center malls are dying, says Charles Hodges, of Hodges & Associates Architecture. The plans we are seeing now are hybrids. They may have the town center aspect located centrally in a power center, with parking lots in close vicinity and usually an entertainment element attached to the mall. The malls that are pedestrian-dominant are struggling right now.

Hodges & Associates has recently completed design for Simon Property Group's 996,300-square-foot Waterford Lakes Town Center in Orlando, which combines three elements: a large restaurant area with an adjacent theater, a Main Street element and a power center ringing the perimeter. Some of the major tenants include Super Target, Regal Cinemas and Best Buy. The center also has over 5,000 parking spaces. It is the variety of the center that makes the center vibrant and successful, says Hodges.

Jack O'Brien, a partner at architecture firm O'Brien & Associates, is a longtime exhibitor at the show. He sees more and more demand for hybrid formats. We are seeing a lot of specialty stores wanting to be adjacent to larger malls, says O'Brien. We remodel one façade of the store, or build lifestyle centers attached to enclosed malls.

O'Brien & Associates just finished work on The Preston Center in Dallas, a 225,000-square-foot hybrid power center. The design is a vertical power center with three levels and anchor tenants on each floor. Marshalls is in the basement and occupies approximately 52,000 square feet. DSW Shoes on the ground floor and Ross Stores on the ground and second floors; each occupies approximately 30,000 square feet. Large parking lots, a critical component to the power center, flank the mall. The developer is currently reviewing plans for adding another level, which would contain either a theater or a department store. Theaters were overbuilt a few years ago, but now they have regrouped and we are seeing a lot more theaters in malls, says O'Brien.

O'Brien & Associates recently started work on The Brickyard in Chicago. Mid-America is the developer and the project is backed by Goldman Sachs. The 520,000-square-foot outdoor power center will have four anchor tenants, Pier 1, Best Buy, Marshalls and Office Max. Phase one, which includes the anchor stores, should be completed by November 2003, and the second phase has an expected completion date of summer 2004.

TECHNOLOGY

As in the broader economy, the role of technology in retail real estate is becoming more critical and sophisticated. Rather than providing a discrete product, the technology companies exhibiting at this year's show are stressing their ability to handle a multitude of functions all aimed at helping developers and retailers quickly create the most profitable shopping venues.

For example, geoVue is providing a portfolio of consulting services with its software offerings. If a company needs assistance in determining what markets to enter, planning its store network or generating sales forecasts to estimate the return on investment for a new store, geoVue can guide the company through this process, says Jim Stone, president of the company. The client can choose to purchase an in-house solution (a system that runs on its computers) or an outsourced one, or a combination of both. Our customers don't want to give up control of their market planning process to an outside provider. They are looking for a balance that brings together software and services, says Stone.

For most businesses today, technology means competitive survival. If you don't have instant access to your critical data, you perish. The real estate industry is no different, says Andrew Rains, senior real estate marketing manager at software maker J.D. Edwards. This year, J.D. Edwards will be showing off its Advanced Real Estate Forecasting system, which was introduced on Jan. 28. The system enables real estate companies to create accurate budgets and longer-term forecasts using real-time information, Rains says. AREF can also capture leasing assumptions, market rent, growth assumptions and capital expenditures to produce up to 15 years of forecasted data, according to J.D. Edwards.

Another trend in technology is consolidation, and that will be in evidence at the Trade Expo as well. Thompson Associates, which has been a Trade Expo exhibitor for five years, will show up with a new identity. MapInfo Corporation, the maker of software, data and services that gives clients a detailed look at location-based demographics in order to assist with their clients' decision-making process, purchased Thompson Associates, a consulting and predictive analytics firm, for $13 million in January. They will show up as MapInfo-Thompson Predictive Analytics. The company will be introducing MapInfo AnySite version 8.5, and showing MapInfo AnySite Online and MapInfo TargetPro, which are mapping and data software products for real estate and marketing executives. The companies will also be displaying Smart Site Solutions, and Market Optimizer, their predictive site selection models. The immediacy of the decision that these industry leaders need to make requires access to quality data and site selection tools, allowing these leaders to stay ahead of the competition, says John Hobson, director of predictive analytics project management. Combining resources has always been a way for companies to lower costs and is certainly a trend for many technology companies in these tough economic times. Our products and services offer both data and site selection tools acting in concert with one another to give leaders an additional edge in the marketplace.

MARKETING AND MERCHANDISING

What began as carts and kiosks in remote corners of shopping malls is becoming a front-and-center phenomenon. Even the most elegant malls are welcoming specialty kiosks in the hearts of their projects, sometimes to help promote nearby stores, but often to bring in merchandise and services that had never been in the mall before, such as language lessons. This corner of retail real estate is hopping with eager entrepreneurs, peddling ever more imaginative ideas for these small-format boutiques. There are more entrepreneurs out there than ever, especially with this bad job market, says Sharon Loeff, director of marketing and sales for Creations at Dallas. Developers do a really good job finding these entrepreneurs, and with specialty leasing the initial investment is low because the rent is month-to-month, so it is a win-win situation for both parties.

Creations at Dallas will be featuring five units, among them the RMU 460; its options include metal counter and shelves, cove moulding on valance with wood trim, metal canopy awnings, aluminum security shutters and more. Newer retail merchandising units, like the 100-square-foot Kiosk 3003, are metal-framed and skinned in real wood to make them stylish as well as durable. Some of its features include ashwrap face closure with lightening and sliding glass doors as well as a glass showcase upgrade. Not exactly a pushcart.

SIGNAGE

Will this be a banner year for your company? Well, there is one company at this year's trade show that has one every year, Highflying Banners, of course. It will be showcasing four new products, Tri-Flex Banner Frame, BannerzUp banner bracket and Sunbrella Graphics System printed on Sunbrella fabric banners. This show will be the first for Highflying Banners since it joined Rainier Industries. The company says it is now able to offer a much wider range of products and services, including in-house printing and banner installation. Shopping centers are continually pressed to lower their costs while bringing more shoppers into the center. Highflying Banners offers a wide variety of cost-efficient solutions to dramatically improve appearances and attract shoppers, says Jessica Morgan, marketing manager for Rainier Industries.

From freestanding signs five or six feet tall, such as a McDonalds drive-through sign, to a 110-foot-high Hooters signs inviting you in for wings and a beer, Priority Signs Inc. has an extensive repertoire. Although neon and illuminated signs are its core business, the company is taking on projects using LED illumination, a low-voltage system that people in the business are predicting will sweep the signage industry. The LED illumination is far less expensive than neon because it uses 60 percent to 80 percent less electricity. The only drawback is that they don't have the color spectrum system as highly developed as neon. For example, the white is far inferior to the many different shades of white that neon can produce. Once they develop the color spectrum a little more, it [LED] will take off big, and the majority of the people will be using LED, says Craig White, president of Priority Signs Inc. This year at the show, clients will definitely be looking for the companies who are using LED; it will be the big thing they are looking for.

SECURITY & MAINTENANCE

Could there be anything timelier than security for mall owners, managers and retailers? IPC International Corporation, a provider of security technology, can't think of anything. Since 9/11 and now with the situation in Iraq, security has become much more important to our clients, says Ken Hamilton, executive vice president. Terrorism is a new threat to this country and our clients are counting on us to keep them safe. IPC International Corporation is a full-service investigative and protection company with 25 years of shopping center public safety service leadership. With a primary focus on public safety as well as public service, IPC International's 5,000 employees are trained to be more than just guards. They are trained to provide information about the mall to patrons, provide escorts out of the building when requested and work with mall management to make sure order is kept on the shopping center property.

Allied Security, based in King of Prussia, Pa., will be making an appearance at the Trade Expo for the first time in three years. It's looking for mall managers who are shopping for greater security. Allied is a full-service security provider. It handles recruiting, hiring, training and managing the security force at over 100 super-regional shopping centers. Allied will have plenty of reps on hand at the show as well as a significant amount of literature describing its training and education programs. Allied Security also offers a web-based training and development platform, which features an entire curriculum of training and education courses. Basic training at Allied usually includes lessons in establishing proper visibility, patrolling techniques, opening and closing techniques and incident, emergency and evacuation procedures. Further training options include CPR, first aid and AED (Automated External Defibrillation) certification; many of Allied Security's shopping center clients require this level of training.

Malls have certainly put more emphasis on security in the past few years. Shopping centers nationwide have not only made security companies review and evaluate their practices and procedures, such as emergency evacuation and patrolling techniques, but have also made employees receive training through the use of live drills, says Tom Walton, vice president of Allied Security. Imagine a fire drill, only with a twist a biochemical weapon is found, for instance. Safety is certainly something we cannot take for granted.

BUILDING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Ordinary civilians may view buildings in one way. But ask somebody in the roofing business and he'll tell you that the lay person has it all wrong. A building is nothing more than its roof; it can look like Grandpa's farmhouse or a shopping center, but it all comes down to the roof, says Vic Compton, corporate accounts manager at VP Buildings.

VP Buildings will be showcasing two new products at the show this year. The Deck Frame allows building owners and developers to pair the efficiency, speed and economy of metal building construction with the aesthetic performance of a membrane roof. Lately architects are not really thinking about durability when they're buying a roof, so we are trying to integrate into that rubber membrane trend and find a middle ground, says Compton.

The second product is called Widebay Trussed Purlin. Widebay Trussed Purlin is a new alternative to bar joist for big box stores and strip shopping centers, says public relations supervisor Beth Simkanin. This new engineering advance can cover 70 percent of traditional bar joist applications and the Widebay Trussed Purlin is more efficient and more attractive. VP buildings has built and designed the roof for each of CostCo's 240 stores nationwide. Maybe it really is all about the roof.

The Trade Expo might not have the same glamour and profile as some of the other exhibitions and events of the ICSC's Las Vegas convention. But Trade Expo is about showcasing the products and services that shopping centers can't function without.

C.R. Laurence Company Inc. certainly fits that profile. From shower door handles to heavy glass entrance systems, C.R. Laurence provides the products that make the pleasing aesthetic touches, such as frameless sliding doors, possible. The All Glass Entrance System is one of the many products C.R. Laurence will be bringing to this year's show. The big trend now is more glass, less metal. All-glass doors and windows allow the customers to see right into the store and view all the products, says Paul Daniels, vice president of C.R. Laurence. Even when preparing for a crisis, one can still maintain a certain level of style: Since many of the stores are installing multiple exits for times of panic, C.R. Laurence is bringing to the show its Panic-Egress hardware for exits that allows stores to be in accordance with fire codes and still be fashionable. Is this a great show or what?
