Urban Entertainment
&
Redevelopment Projects

Just as entertainment is becoming an essential component of shopping centers, entertainment is the backbone of today's urban redevelopment. Often referred to as urban or location-based entertainment centers, these projects integrate entertainment with retail, dining and cultural facilities to create a resident and tourist destination.

The White Hutchinson Leisure & Learning Group has extensive experience in integrating entertainment with shopping and leisure destinations. Randy White, CEO of WHLLG, was previously a shopping center developer, owner and manager with experience with over 3.0 million square feet of centers and urban redevelopment. He is a CSM and still an active member of the International Council of Shopping Centers and the Urban Land Institute.
