Pacific Retail Capital Partners win three MAXIs at 2020 ICSC Global Awards Ceremony

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - EntSun -- Pacific Retail Capital Partners, a premier operating and development group of retail-led properties, was honored to receive several awards of distinction during the 2020 Global Awards event sponsored by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). The MAXI Awards showcase the retail real estate industry's most innovative events, programs and technologies that add value to shopping centers and companies across the country.

Utilizing a myriad of resources to re-energize centers, drive traffic, increase sales and revenue, and give back to their respective communities, five shopping centers in the PRCP portfolio and PRCP were recognized with nine MAXI nominations. Centers included Eastridge Center in San Jose, CA; The Shops at Montebello in Montebello, CA; Yorktown Center in Lombard, IL; Colonie Center in Albany, NY; and Northpark in Jackson, MS, as well as PRCP. Two PRCP centers took home three MAXI awards this year – two gold and one silver award – acknowledging the properties' programming as the best in class across all centers and companies in both the United States and Canada.

With the power of innovation, leadership, and teamwork, PRCP was the recipient of the following awards:

·         Gold MAXI Award in the Community Category for Mini Cat Town at Eastridge Center. The perfect place to cuddle and play with adoptable kittens, Mini Cat Town is a 501c3 nonprofit rescue that is fully operated by volunteers and community donations of supplies. Mini Cat Town offers a new use for retail space based in social responsibility. By leveraging shopping center exposure, this animal rescue non-profit could increase visibility, create revenue, care for and adopt out more kittens in the surrounding community, and build a sustainable future. Mini Cat Town became a first-to-market destination tenant in San Jose, California and an instant favorite for the loyal customers of Eastridge Center.

Over 1,000 guests attended CosmeCon 2019, an inaugural cosmetics and wellness event hosted by Eastridge Center in partnership with fourteen digitally-native, international, or local Bay Area cosmetic brands. CosmeCon partnered with popular brands in spring 2019 through on-site pop-up shops, mini-workshops, complimentary beauty services, giveaways, and a MAC Cosmetics keynote masterclass. CosmeCon also highlighted women's empowerment and inner beauty through a panel led by Latinx and Black women leaders in the industry. Strong sales and customer engagement results repositioned provided leasing teams with viability metrics and a warm pipeline of direct-to-consumer brands in the wellness, beauty, and lifestyle sectors. CosmeCon was trademarked in 2019 and the initiative will now be produced by additional Pacific Retail properties as a reimagined digital conference in September 2020.
