Explanation
Tenant mix in retail property refers to the strategic combination of tenants that will maximize customer traffic, create synergies, and support the center's positioning. Effective tenant mix balances anchor stores (major draws), inline tenants (smaller specialty shops), and food/entertainment. Poor tenant mix leads to low foot traffic and high vacancy. Property managers and leasing teams must actively manage tenant mix as a core strategy.
