MJB Consulting

MJB Consulting is a retail planning and real estate consulting firm focused on helping downtowns, commercial districts, developers, and communities understand what makes retail environments work. Based in New York City and the San Francisco Bay Area, the firm approaches retail as more than a collection of shops and restaurants: because it occupies the ground floor and meets people directly at the sidewalk, retail plays an outsized role in how a street, district, or community is experienced.
