Looking for Retail Sales information per square foot
Hello world, any help here would be greatly appreciated!

We are working on a retail development and in our research are trying to establish some basic retail sales numbers per square foot for the project (not the real estate price but what we could reasonably expect a store to sell).  Does anyone have a decent, reliable source for average sales per square foot for different types of retailers/malls/shopping centers?  

It would be even better if I could then break those sales numbers down by geography (so I am not comparing a shop in California to a shop in Idaho)...

So far, I have looked into a few real estate analysts (Green Street Advisors) but I can't just buy one report from them... you have to get the whole subscription.  We are also looking to get some info from ICSC (but are still working on that).

Thanks again for any guidance.

Does your company have a property accounting department? Typically, tenants in large retail developments will submit monthly or quarterly sales reports to pay their percentage rent, if it's a stipulation in their lease. You could just reference that data with their leased square footage and use that for the data.\n\nThis probably isn't very helpful, but I wanted to help.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
