Tenant Rate Justification<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: archivo, sans-serif; color: #666666;\">Not all retail units generate the same exposure \u2014 and rental pricing should reflect that.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: archivo, sans-serif; color: #666666;\">Flow Analysis provides <strong>quantitative evidence of visitor traffic<\/strong> in front of each tenant unit.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: archivo, sans-serif; color: #666666;\">Leasing teams can confidently justify higher rates for high-traffic zones and offer discounts or support to underperforming areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: archivo, sans-serif; color: #666666;\"><strong>2.
