TRI Commercial -- a nationally known real estate firm -- has produced an analysis of retail opportunities for Martinez. TRI produced two documents that are now available on the City's website: Citywide Retail Commercial Analysis; ReMartinez Retail Marketing brochure. https://lnkd.in/gkdnY33X The analysis identified more than 20 specific retail categories that could potentially be attracted to Martinez, including: specialty grocery, wine shops, discount department stores, boutique fitness, and other categories. The City is using TRI's analysis and marketing flyer as tools to plan the City’s retail attraction efforts for 2024. Several challenges were also identified that Martinez must address to reach its full retail potential. These challenges include: increasing the number of daily customers for Downtown shops and restaurants by building more housing units close to the Downtown transit hub; developing the Marina; capitalizing on the Amtrak Station (which attracts more than 250,000 riders daily), and other opportunities & challenges. #Retail #Shopping #Development #CityOfMartinez #MartinezCA #Opportunity #BayAreaBusiness #BayAreaGrowth
