Retrofit Atlas

Multifamily screen

A transparent points screen of US malls in this database: sourced closed or cleared land, size, county growth and rents from the Census, housing already in the plans, distress or a listing, public ownership, minus sites already built or already in a developer's hands. It says what to look at first. It is not a recommendation; verify every line with the owner and the municipality. Ties are alphabetical.

Research only, unreviewed. Inputs are drafts; county figures are 2018 to 2023 ACS.
