Retail occupancy is expected to grow about five-fold before the year is out.“This time next year we will be on the cusp of a retail revitalization,” Edwards said.Primark opens up at the corner of State and Washington at 10 a.m. on Thursday.Suggest a CorrectionThanks for signing up!Watch for us in your inbox.Subscribe Now✕× Close Ad
