Co-tenancy — the other retailers sharing your center — directly affects your foot traffic and sales performance. Strong anchor tenants drive baseline traffic. Synergistic co-tenants create destination appeal. The wrong neighbors can undermine even a great location. NAI Hallmark's retail team evaluates co-tenancy for every space we recommend and negotiates co-tenancy protection clauses into your lease. Shopping center leasing in Jacksonville requires understanding the full tenant mix — not just the space itself.
