France Media recently hosted its 5th Annual Entertainment Experience Evolution conference, bringing together the retail industry’s leading developers, restaurateurs, entertainment/retail operators, designers, and futurists to discuss the evolution of the physical retail environment

OTL’s CEO, J. Wickham Zimmerman, spoke on the “Open Spaces: The Invisible Anchor” panel alongside other industry leaders including:

From open-air parks to lush landscaped environments to water features, today’s consumers increasingly view open spaces in retail environments as one of a center’s most attractive assets.

During the panel, OTL discussed several of its key projects featuring unique open space designs and fountain integrations, including the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo, California; the Village at Meridian in Meridian, Idaho; City Creek Center in Salt Lake City, Utah; and Downtown Summerlin in Las Vegas, Nevada, among others.
