A year ago, I began writing summaries of panel discussions of the Urban Land Institute’s Chicago chapter. Two days ago, after a summer hiatus, the ULI resumed those meetings with “The Future of U.S. Retail-How a Changed Consumer Will Affect Retail Real Estate.”
As usual, the speakers were brimming with insight, which I did my best to encapsulate, complete with Mick Jagger lyrics, and appears on the ULI-Chicago website.
Of the numerous data points divulged on Wednesday at the Union League Club in downtown Chicago, here’s the one I found most intriguing: the year when the United States is projected to be its “oldest” is 2037. God willing, I’ll be turning 69 that year, doing my part to justify that collective elder-statesman distinction.
