Barry Sternlicht, whose Starwood Capital Group owns shopping malls across the U.S., said he expects the nation’s retail landscape to be “smaller but healthier” in five years after some chains cut back or disappear.
“A lot of retailers don’t know how to behave in this environment, and they’re panicking,” Sternlicht said in an interview with Bloomberg Television to be aired Wednesday. “I see the tenants in my malls that get it, and the ones that are as confused as can be.”
