Research & Reporting

Since 1995, the Fashion Center has been committed to monitoring the economic climate in the District by partnering with specialized consultants to conduct annual surveys and publish in-depth economic profiles. This past year, the Fashion Center completed its annual door-to-door survey of Fashion District tenants and published its economic profile for the thirteenth year in a row.

Real Estate Promotion

To promote the district as a great place to locate a business and to highlight the area’s improvements, the FCBID markets the district to the real estate community through direct-mail campaigns to noteworthy publications such as Crains.

Department of Commerce Seminars

The FCBID continued its collaboration with the U.S. Department of Commerce in presenting a series of seminars to address recent changes in trade regulations. Seminars were offered to district fashion businesses which source and/or sell overseas.
