Shopping Centers A shopping center is a group of retail and other commercial establishments that is planned, developed, owned, and managed as a single property. Two main configurations: strip centers & malls Strip centers have parking in front of the stores and do not have enclosed walkways linking the stores. Malls have a pedestrian focus; customers park in outlying areas and walk to the stores. Traditional malls are enclosed with walkways between two facing strips of stores.

Environmental Issues
“Above-ground” risks - such as asbestos-containing materials or lead pipes used in construction.
Hazardous materials - e.g. dry cleaning chemicals, motor oil, that have been stored in the ground.
Retailers’ Protection • Stipulate in the lease that the lessor is responsible for removal and disposal of this material if it’s found. • Retailer can buy insurance that specifically protects it from these risks. McGraw-Hill/Irwin
