Logistically we are <br />updating maps (aerials, income, population, locator and trade area) to begin to see things from <br />a more dimensional perspective. <br />Over the next 2-3 weeks we will be able to begin the analytical phase of the project to develop <br />conclusions. Specifically, the Property Analysis for each selected area, Sales/Lease comps, Retail <br />Gap/Leakage Assessment, Marketing Phase, Competitive Nodes, Psychographic profile, <br />Firmographics and Summary of findings will be included in the Merchandising Plan Report. <br />Once the strategy has been set the Recruitment phase will begin. We are working to complete <br />as much as we can prior to ICSC RECon in May 2013. As we meet with potential tenants for La <br />Porte, Catalyst will update the city on any new prospects for La Porte. <br />I have attached a Gaant chart that list a bigger picture breakdown on next steps for La Porte and <br />Catalyst. We are excited about completing the Merchandising Plan for La Porte shortly. <br />If there is anything that we can do to help, please do not hesitate to contact us <br />Thank you, <br />to lyst <br />2 <br />
