At ICSC Orlando 2025, I attended the general session “What’s Next – Where Is AI Headed for Retail?”
The discussion explored how artificial intelligence is moving from concept to reality in retail—transforming predictive shopping, enabling autonomous stores, driving real-time personalization, and empowering smarter decision-making.
AI is advancing at an incredible pace, and it’s clear it will play a defining role in how retailers operate and how customers shop in the years ahead. At Woolbright, we’re committed to staying ahead of these shifts and embracing innovation that enhances the retail experience.
👉 Check out the session here:
We’re excited to share two important updates that reflect the continued growth and strength of our team.
First, please join us in congratulating Nayantara (Tara) Patel on her promotion to Asset Manager, Development—a well-deserved recognition of her exceptional contributions and growing leadership at Woolbright.
We’re also thrilled to welcome Adrian Noboa to the Woolbright family. Based in Orlando, Adrian recently earned a dual degree in Finance and Real Estate from Florida State University, where he was an active member of the Real Estate Society and an ICSC Foundation Scholarship recipient. His passion for commercial real estate is clear, and we’re proud to support the launch of his career.
