Honorable James Brainard Sent via email US Mail
City of Carmel

One Civic Square
Carmel, Indiana 46032
Dear Mayor Brainard:
On behalf of Gibbs Planning Group (GPG), I am pleased to respond to your request to provide a
retail market study for the Merchants' Square redevelopment area of the city of Carmel. GPG's
expertise allows us to formulate and refine a proven and focused approach to accomplish the market
research. GPG is dedicated to providing practical, actionable results, which reflect economic
development realities and not just theoretical research.
GPG has a broad range of both private and public sector experience across North America, Europe
and the Pacific Rim. Public urban retail consulting clients include: Alexandria, Cambridge,
Charleston, Chicago, Houston, Knoxville, Madison, Miami, Portland and Seattle. GPG's private
sector clients include The Walt Disney Company, EDS, General Motors, Rosemary Beach, Seaside,
Steiner Associates, The St. Joe Company, The Taubman Company and Simon Property Group.
GPG has also conducted market research for Brown University, Johns Hopkins University, and the
University of Pennsylvania.
Please find below my proposed scope and fees based upon our recent discussions and my
understanding of the city's objectives:
Retail Market Analysis
This study is intended to allow the city to gain a detailed understanding of the types and sizes of
retail businesses that are likely to be supportable in the Merchants' Square area presently and
during the next five (5) years. During this study, GPG will comb the study area's region, visiting most
shopping centers and retailers. The assessment will include evaluation of the stores' quality, service
and merchandise to seek out potential voids or over supply of a particular good or service.
GPG will also conduct pedestrian and drive -time studies and prepare a gravitational model to
estimate the study area's primary and secondary trade areas. GPG will then research and collect
demographic data, household income, consumer expenditure potential by retail category, education
levels, percentage of various employment types, age, projected growth, etc. This study will analyze
25 retail types including apparel, books, children's, department stores (discount and luxury),
electronics, gifts, grocery, hardware, home furnishings, pharmacies, sporting goods, restaurants and
specialty foods. During this study, GPG shall contact retail industry insiders including tenant
representatives, developers and commercial real estate professionals to estimate new store
deployment plans in the study area. Based on the above interviews, GPG will list the names of
potential retailers and restaurant tenants for the Merchants' Square study area.
The final deliverable of this study shall be a 25 -30 page written and illustrated summary of the
relevant population and demographic characteristics of the trade area, including the socio- economic
characteristics and buying patterns of the population. This report will include a written qualitative
opinion as to whether or not retail development is supportable in the study area, sales forecasts and
size estimates of the retailers (if any) most likely to be supportable. GPG shall also provide a list of
potential regional and national retail and entertainment businesses that could be tenants in the
Merchants' Square study area.
