Northeast Ohio Regional Retail Analysis
Executive Summary
Proposed Development
Map 6 indicates the distribution of the new retail projects in the
region. A total of over ten million square feet is being proposed - a figure that virtually
matches the ten million square feet of vacant retail space currently available in the region,
recognizing, however, that some of the vacant space is poorly located or functionally obsolete.

The location of many of the new projects does not match with areas which have a deficit of
retail space. Map 7 clearly indicates that many of the projects are
proposed for areas which currently have a surplus of floor space. Map 8
illustrates the potential "drawing power" of the eleven largest proposed projects.
