At Thomas Consultants we realize that the retail industry is in a constant state of transformation. New retail concepts are continually being introduced at a dizzying pace. Through our international exposure we are able to share the latest ideas and trends that are being introduced worldwide.

Undoubtedly one of the major changes in the retail industry is the diffusion of lifestyle concepts through the market. Open air lifestyle centers are rapidly being adopted on a global scale and their introduction has brought a major shift in consumer expectations. Thomas Consultants has been at the forefront of this change and today the vast majority of our work involves planning strategies for multi‐purpose and mixed‐use destinations.

Thomas Consultants is actively engaged in assignments that propose new open air lifestyle centers, urban entertainment centers, downtown revitalization projects, mixed use town centers and transit oriented developments. The exposure to such a wide variety of projects enables us to leverage our expertise in creating living, breathing retail environments that are at the heart of livable and sustainable communities.
