East half of strip mall with parking out front; Shopping plazas or strip malls are sets of buildings containing a relatively small number of retail units with interconnecting walkways, typically arranged in a single row facing a shared parking lot. Purchasing unused land for a potential development is sometimes called speculative development. Subdivision describes the legal and physical steps a developer must take to convert raw land into developed land. Subdivision is a vital part of a community's growth, determining its appearance, the mix of its land uses, and its infrastructure, including roads, drainage systems, water, sewerage, and public utilities. After subdivision is complete, the developer usually markets the land to a home builder or other end user, for such uses as a warehouse or shopping center. In any case, use of spatial intelligence tools mitigate the risk of these developers by modeling the population trends and demographic make-up of the sort of customers a home builder or retailer would like to have surrounding their new development.
