Strategic Planning Concepts International (SPCI) is a global, non-transactional consulting firm specializing in commercial real estate strategies.  The company offers  41 years of expertise in assisting real estate developers, retailers, family offices, institutional investors, architects, and planners across all asset categories, particularly in commercial retail and mixed-use projects. SPCI prioritizes addressing needs through strategic development and/or renovation/repositioning options, site and market analysis, master plan design evaluations, retail tenant mix assessments, programming and social media analysis investigations of future trends and resilience planning. Post-Covid-19, there has been a heightened focus on highly experiential streetscapes, logistical clarity and way-finding logic. Utilizing extensive qualitative research alongside big data analysis, SPCI emphasizes understanding the context behind the content, ensuring the right questions are posed when planning new mixed-use developments or repositioning existing projects.  SPCI has been involved with over 1,000 projects in the southwestern USA, across all of Mexico, in Central America and in northern South America. On-site inspections remain crucial for market comprehension, and while SPCI continues to engage with single-use and single-level projects, it recognizes that these solutions often no longer represent the highest and best use for many properties. The traditional retail anchor toolkit is becoming less relevant.  In assessing client needs, it is essential to identify new gravity engines, unique differentiators, and establish programming bandwidth. Key variables influencing SPCI's strategy selection include time frame, budget, availability of organizational resources, risk tolerance, logistical infrastructure quality, and proposed operational and capital expenditures.  There is a growing need to incorporate the quality of experiences offered, beyond using traditional market metrics. Are there sidewalks and landscaping? Street walls?  Shade structures? Visual sight lines?  Retail liners? Is there frontage transparency? Outdoor seating?  Are there motor lobbies?  Lockers?  Curbside pick up options?  Drive through lanes?  These all signal “linger here.”  The lack of these details signals "go away, do not bother us."
