Retail Renaissance: A Conversation with Barrie Scardina, President, Americas Retail Services at Cushman & Wakefield

The episode, recorded live at Shoptalk in the Berns Communications Group media room, opens with Steve Dennis and Michael LeBlanc surveying a broad sweep of headline-grabbing developments in the retail world. They highlight continued uncertainty around recently imposed tariffs and resulting economic ripples, as major international trade disputes stoke inflationary concerns. Stock market volatility factors heavily into the conversation, with the co-hosts noting how certain retail sectors—particularly home furnishings and high-end goods—may feel the pinch as shoppers tighten budgets.  Target's declining foot traffic draws focus as the hosts weigh whether brand controversies or stiff competition might be to blame. Next meet Barrie Scardina, President, Americas Retail Services at Cushman & Wakefield, who brings a fresh perspective born of decades in the retail industry. Her vantage point on commercial real estate challenges the traditional narrative of a “retail apocalypse.” She explains how, despite headlines about store closings, overall U.S. vacancy rates are incredibly low—largely because new construction has slowed and new types of tenants (from wellness providers to entertainment concepts) are snapping up available space. Barrie describes a rising tide of “experiential” retail, with everything from boutique fitness and medtail services to immersive brand pop-ups fueling a renewed sense of purpose in physical locations. She underscores how mixed-use developments and adaptive reuse—especially of outdated mall anchor spots—are revitalizing communities and increasing foot traffic. By blending residential, office, dining, and retail, these centers offer a lifestyle-oriented experience that resonates with modern shoppers. Ultimately, Barrie's insights challenge conventional wisdom, suggesting that success in retail real estate hinges on tapping into evolving consumer demands, fostering a community connection, and creating spaces that balance function with memorable experience. AboutBarrie Scardina joined global real estate solutions firm Cushman & Wakefield as Executive Managing Director and Head of Retail Services, Americas, in November of 2019, leading brokerage teams to deliver optimal solutions to retailers and brands. In 2022, Barrie was elevated to the role of Regional President, Northeast, leading brokerage and services across all service lines. In 2023, she took on the challenge of President of Americas Retail Services, Agency Leasing and Alliances, partnering across office, industrial and retail to provide nuanced client solutions. Barrie is consistently focused on delivering value to clients by serving as a trusted advisor and incorporating data, analytics, and business valuation as part of her strategies. This unique approach to client relationships ensures that the firm delivers against client goals, optimizing outcomes and mitigating risk. Barrie is results-oriented and remains focused on transforming the real estate landscape by strategically driving revenue, identifying operational efficiencies, and growing profitability. Prior to her appointment at Cushman & Wakefield, Barrie spent three decades leading vital retail initiatives across a variety of world-class organizations, including Polo Ralph Lauren, Liz Claiborne, The Children's Place and Tory Burch. She brings more than 15 years of executive experience to her current role with the firm, including expertise in creating long-range strategies, business forecasting, omni-channel inventory management, and system implementation and integration. Most recently, Barrie was with Calvin Klein, where she led the company's North American Retail Division as President, setting strategic direction for merchandising, consumer experience and operational improvements. Throughout her career, Barrie has focused on mentoring and developing talent and creating cultures that foster collaboration and equality. She is the executive sponsor for Cushman & Wakefield's Women's Integrated Network and serves on two diversity committees focused on improving the employee experience.AffiliationsGraduate of the Wharton School of Business' Philips Van Heusen Global Leadership Program (2017)Board Member of Safe Horizon (2017-2019)Member of Women's Retail Leadership Circle (WRLC)Member of the International Council for Shopping Centers (ICSC)Member of CHIEF Private Women's NetworkExecutive Sponsor of Cushman & Wakefield's Women's Integrated Network National ChapterMember of CREW NY; Participant at National levelRecognized by Globe St. as a Woman of Influence (2020) About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers.

Customer expectations continue to evolve, and when considering a purchase — a big ticket item or even a smaller one — they often look for flexibility in payment options. Merchants and retailers operate in an increasingly competitive space, seeking to create a better customer experience to win greater loyalty and frequency while also increasing sales. The customer/merchant relationship does not have to be one of opposition. There are solutions that can benefit both.    The Connected Commerce and Strategic Growth division of Citi Retail Services is designed to reimagine point-of-sale (POS) lending. The team conceptualizes how finance products can be integrated with merchants' POS systems and how to make it easier for merchants to connect with Citi. The information is leveraged when building products and merchant connection points, enabling customers to access relevant lending products when checking out or buying merchandise. Indeed, Citi's research revealed that both consumers and merchants are looking for multiple payment options at the checkout. In fact, 90% of surveyed consumers agreed that retailers need to offer various payment options at the POS. Designed for consumers and retailers, Citi Pay® products help consumers understand the monthly cost of a product. Instead of focusing on the total transaction amount, they can assess purchases based on the associated monthly payments. This process helps consumers determine how the product or the purchase best fits into their budget. In this podcast, Mark Johnson, CEO of Loyalty360, spoke with Terry O'Neil, Head of Connected Commerce and Strategic Growth for Citi Retail Services, about the future of POS lending, the strategic partnerships Citi's formed to enable Citi Pay®, and how merchants shouldn't underestimate the power of an embedded payment product in building customer loyalty.

Conpanies had been transformed in country clubs, game rooms and meditation retreats; with stocked kitchens, beer carts and dogs & cats running amuck All in the name of employee engagement, retention and happiness!!!  The result: People LOVED their ‘jobs', BUT they weren't working!!! Then the Pandemic hit!!!  The world was coming to end! Wait…No it wasn't! PPP loans saved the day They were handed out like Candy to companies that didn't even need the money!!! And? They spent it foolishly!!!  ———————————————— Now the chickens have come home to roost!!!  And although employers enabled this mess — employees are just as complicit in it This is my take on the ‘back to the office' vs. ‘remote' saga.

What the Changes to IRS's Code Section 174 Means for Taxes This Year

Weaver: Beyond the Numbers

For businesses, tax season can be especially stressful, given the weight of information to prepare and consider, along with various changes coming from the IRS. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 amended Code Section 174, whereby requiring companies to capitalize and amortize costs for their R&D expenses starting in the 2022 tax year. Prior to this amendment, companies were able to fully deduct their qualified R&D expenses in a given tax year. What do companies need to know about their taxes regarding R&D expenses moving forward? In a new episode of “On the Shop Floor,” hosts Colby Horn and Jody Allred, both Partners-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver, interviewed Nancy Imholte, Director of R&D Tax Credit Services, and Kurtis Dixon, Tax Services Partner. The group discussed steps they recommend to their clients to implement the changes to 174 and how it will affect this and future year's tax filings. The four also talked about …. The requirements of Code Section 174 and some of the uncertainty about what is and is not included; The impact on tax provision calculations for C-Corps; What this amendment now means for the future of expenses for R&D; and The need to keep clients informed about how Code Section 174 will impact the way they file taxes this year. Imholte explained the consequences of the changes, “It's just trying to figure out a way to show that at a minimum you've got to capitalize whatever you have qualified as R&D tax credit cost. But it's really broader than that [qualifying R&D tax credit cost] of what should be capitalized. It's important to make sure they are actually making the right change in their reporting. If we're not their tax preparer, their tax preparer needs to be made aware of that change and it needs to be reported on returns.” Imholte went on to mention that companies need to look at their R&D credits “a lot earlier to make sure that when they are filing their extensions that all of their payments are made to minimize any penalties…and then that if you have tax provision that you will need that information as well so that you can have all of that included in your [calculations].” With regards to the impact on tax provisions calculations, Dixon added, “In theory, you're going to pay more taxes on your tax return. You have this big expense that now, for tax purposes, is being amortized over this 5-year, maybe 15-year period, depending on what it is. So, you're going to have higher taxable income, lower expenses, and you're going to have this deferred tax asset that will flip. Nancy Imholte has 20 years of public accounting experience, 11 of which have been with Weaver, and currently leads research and development (R&D) tax credit services for Weaver. She works with clients to determine their eligibility for R&D credits and performs the necessary calculations. Nancy also provides tax planning consultation and helps clients resolve issues with federal and state authorities. Nancy earned a bachelor's degree in accounting from Texas Lutheran University. Kurtis Dixon has more than 15 years of experience in public accounting and focuses on providing tax compliance, planning and consulting services to Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships and individuals. Kurtis also has experience with preparation and review of income tax provisions.

There are labor shortages in a variety of industries—especially manufacturing. The National Association of Manufacturers predicts there may be a gap of 2.1 million workers amounting to one trillion dollars by 2030. Clearly, something is stirring in the manufacturing industry economy. But what is the forecast for the immediate future?On today's episode of Location3, a Weaver: Beyond the Numbers podcast, Hosts Howard Altshuler, Partner-in-Charge of Real Estate Services, and Rob Nowak, Partner in Tax Services at Weaver, are joined by partners Colby Horn, Partner-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver and Jody Allred, Partner-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver, to talk about their new podcast launch and trends impacting warehouse space and leasing.Altshuler, Nowak, Horn, and Allred also talked about…1. Horn and Allred's impending launch of the On the Shop Floor manufacturing podcast series 2. Vacancies increased in the second half of 2022, indicating a softening in the leasing market3. The outlook for the manufacturing market's economy in 2023 Horn explained why warehousing space was at a premium due to the pandemic. “Obviously, during COVID, people weren't able to attend concerts, sports events and other activities. Their spending shifted to more to tangible things like buying clothes or furniture. That switch definitely created stress on the supply chain. It's been forcing a lot of our clients or people in our industry to over purchase, and with that over purchasing, warehouse space is at a premium.” However, that premium is eroding with vacancies up across the warehouse leasing market.The slowdown in activity is not affecting the market at the same rate or velocity. Allred provided some projections on what is in store for the manufacturing economy based on recent surveys. “I think what we're seeing depends on geography, it depends on what industry within manufacturing distribution retail you're in.”What the market is really telling us is that uncertainty has returned and we all hope for a soft landing recession but need to continue contingency planning that will allow for nimble market response.Colby Horn is Partner-in-Charge of Manufacturing, Distribution, and Retail Services at Weaver and has more than 17 years of experience in auditing, accounting, and consulting.

In this episode of The Idealcast, Gene Kim speaks with Dr. Steven Spear on his critiques of several articles from the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal, and their characterization of the impact of “Just in Time” supply chains and the widespread shortages caused by the COVID-19 global pandemic. While the unprecedented health crisis created a widespread shortage of almost everything—from toilet paper to semiconductor chips to raw materials vital for medical materials—with results that impacted everyday life on a global scale, Dr. Spear makes the claim that Just In Time lessened the severity of shortages, as opposed to causing them. The discussion is informed by Spear's work on accelerating learning dynamics within organizations and the Toyota Production System, and from his time observing and working directly with a tier-one Toyota supplier. Kim and Spear dive deep into supply chain dynamics and why they are important to society. The discussion delves into how “just in time” (JIT) manufacturing not only revolutionized manufacturing but also the entire manufacturing supply chain and how it increased (not decreased) resilience, productivity, efficiency, and prosperity.  They also explore the structure and dynamics of these JIT supply chains, as well as the similarities of the famous Netflix Chaos Monkey, famous for helping Netflix build resilient services that can survive even widespread cloud outages and the larger, emerging field of Chaos Engineers (arguably, a subset of resilience engineering). Additionally, they explore Toyota's manufacturing and how its history helped it become one of the least impacted by the semiconductor shortages. They follow that with an examination of the JIT's antithesis and how it's similar to the dynamics found in the Soviet's centrally planned economy, particularly with its IT structure and dynamic results. Kim and Spear tie these things into the three basic tools of finance: net present value, option theory, and portfolio diversification.   ABOUT THE GUESTS Dr. Steve Spear (DBA MS MS) is principal for HVE LLC, the award-winning author of The High-Velocity Edge, and patent holder for the See to Solve Real Time Alert System. A Senior Lecturer at MIT's Sloan School and a Senior Fellow at the Institute, Dr. Spear's work focuses on accelerating learning dynamics within organizations so that they know better and faster what to do and how to do it. This has been informed and tested in practice in multiple industries including heavy industry, high tech design, biopharm R&D, healthcare delivery and other social services, US Army rapid equipping, and US Navy readiness.   Visit Steve Spear's Website   YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT What are supply chains, why they're so vast and complex, and why they are important to society How Just in time (JIT) manufacturing revolutionize manufacturing, the entire manufacturing supply chain, and the supply chain for basically everything How JIT increased, not deceased, the resilience of the supply chain Why Toyota is one of the auto manufacturers least impacted by the semiconductor shortages, partially as a result of what they learned during the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami in 2011 How the structure and dynamics of the Toyota supply chain are almost exactly the same as the structure and dynamics of great systems discussed in previous episodes, such as the COVID mass vaccination clinic with Trent Green and Team of Teams How Toyota has the ability to reconfigure themselves with a low cost of change How these principles are very similar to Netflix chaos monkey and the entire field of what is now called chaos engineering How the antithesis of  JIT is similar to the dynamics found in the Soviet's centrally planned economy, particularly with its IT structure and results in dynamics How inventory is a substitute for knowledge How this all ties into the three basic tools of finance: net present value, option theory, and portfolio diversification   RESOURCES Announcing New Book from Gene Kim and Dr. Steven J.

The Internet is a Literal WebCongratulations to friend of the show, Ian Leslie, and to Industry West for ranking on 2PM's DNVB list and for Adobe Experience Maker Awards. Phillip and Brian talk about the Adobe Experience Maker Awards, the rankings, and ask the question of how some brands are ranked so highly. Millennials didn't invent meal prep delivery. Schwann foods, and catalog delivery — even the milkman — are all examples of modern reimagining of pre-existing retail models.In eCom news, Shopify continues to eat the world, bringing in another investment of Stripe, and launching payments buttons across Google Shopping and Facebook — without the need to be operating a Shopify store. The BNPL ecosystem has stratified into much clearer offerings, as Phillip lays out the roadmap for Afterpay, Affirm, and Klarna.“The world is reopening… New York City no longer has any covid restrictions. San Francisco opened up officially yesterday; the biggest cities are coming out of covid and physical retail is back. I feel like Afterpay is the big winner here in the latter half of the year, if I had to bet the way that people would be using this like everyone, every channel has to deal with the fact that physical retail is coming back.” - Phillip“The internet is held together by spider webs.” - BrianMost people's first ecommerce purchase was probably a digital property. Paula's Choice is the original direct to consumer brand, and predates what we know as the modern web. Launched in 1995 it was one of the first beauty brands online, and predated Google by 3 years. The first-ever secure online purchase was a copy of “Ten Summoner's Tales”, a solo album by Sting. Associated Links:Insiders #088: Paula's Choice: On Blind Spots and Phase CancellationIndustry West2PM DTC Power ListAdobe Experience Maker AwardsSubscribe to our weekly newsletter: futurecommerce.fm/subscribe Check out our latest research piece, Service is the New StorefrontHave any questions or comments about the show?
