From sell-off to shopping experience

If shopping centres are to be successful in the future, they must adapt their business models to changing leisure and shopping behaviour. Professional concepts founded on reliable data are essential to increase the attractiveness and value of your property over the long term. 
 
Shopping centres are part of a very dynamic asset class, and one in which further major changes can be expected in the coming years. Recreational and shopping behaviour is changing and bricks-and-mortar retail is under significant pressure from the increased use of online retail. This means that shopping centres are focusing more and more on leisure activities to complement their retail function. Expanded and new offers such as lifestyle cooking, gastronomic experiences, yoga classes and cinemas, and even live music and theatre performances, can revitalise unused space, thereby increasing visitor frequency and the attractiveness of the centres themselves.
