A brief is a short version of a case study.
Daegu City Center is a 23-story integrated commercial center with an upscale retail mall, a luxury hotel, and nightlife venues in Daegu, Korea. Once a failed discount retail and low-end office complex, the building was redeveloped and repositioned by Doran Capital Partners, creating a financially viable lifestyle retail/entertainment destination and a 203-room hotel in an area in need of retail and commercial options. One of the largest commercial buildings in central Daegu, the 86,847-square-meter (934,813-sf) Daegu City Center has returned economic vitality and retail activity to the downtown core.
