About the company
4Insights, Inc. was founded in 2002 in Chicago, IL, by senior management executives who saw the need to provide a turnkey process that translates sophisticated market analysis into realistic business strategies for Downtowns and other retail specialty districts; Mixed-Use, Transit-Oriented and Town Center Developments; and all types of Shopping Centers.
A comprehensive evaluation of retail market potential must include more than just market data. 4Insights has assembled a team of experts with senior-level management experience in each of the fields that are part of the Market Assessment. The 4Insights’ team for each project is assembled according to our clients’ unique objectives:
- Market Analysis and Demand Estimates
- Consumer Research
- Retail Strategy and Tenant Mix Plan
- Economic Development Strategies
- Tenant and Consumer Marketing Strategies
- Sponsorship Assessment
In 2008, working with the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC), 4Insights developed the Market Analysis and Retail Strategy component of the first ICSC national seminar on Retail Planning for Communities. 4Insights’ has presented at the national meetings of The American Planning Association and the National Main Street Conference. 4Insights also produces regional conferences on Mixed-Use Development for the prestigious DePaul University Real Estate School in Chicago, featuring the nation’s largest mixed-use developers. Our partners are active in the ICSC Illinois Alliance, a partnership of municipalities focused on retail development; and the Illinois Partners in Planning Conference.
We are proud of our track record of 100% satisfied clients over the past seven years, because we spare no effort to exceed expectations on every objective.
