FROM EVIDENCE TO A DECISION
Build the retail center investment case.
Connect the local findings to demand, operating capacity and financial assumptions. The agreed study scope follows the actual property and the decision you need to make.
Tenant and customer fit
Assess the customer base and competing space for each tenant category. Anchor demand and small-shop leasing need separate support.
Lease economics
Compare rents, concessions, fit-out obligations and recoverable expenses. Occupied space and landlord cash flow are different measures.
Leasing sequence
Test the timing of anchor and smaller-tenant occupancy, including vacant-space carrying costs. Consider how delayed leasing changes capital needs.
