SERVICE FOR (RE)DEVELOPERS

In a dynamic and ever-changing retail market, flexibility is essential to keep buildings and areas attractive and relevant in the long term. Incorporating mixed-use functions and engaging diverse stakeholders is crucial when creating or transforming an area to meet the needs of the community.Our goal is to contribute to improving retail areas (and neighborhoods), enhancing quality of life, stimulating economic growth, and promoting sustainability. The spaces we help develop are designed to offer a seamless customer journey and a vibrant living and working experience. Whether it’s a spontaneous purchase, an extended shopping visit, relaxation in a green environment, a trip to the cinema, or working in an inviting hospitality setting, the space should welcome and inspire people. Creating an environment where people feel at home, connect with others, and find inspiration plays a significant role in the success of an area. It’s also vital to consider sales channels (omnichannel strategies) and tools needed to attract and retain consumers. Increasingly, areas serve a societal function: what facilities can we add to support this. At the core of our advisory approach is creating a "heart" for each area that meets the needs of residents, visitors, businesses, students, and decision-makers. The area must not only meet today’s expectations but also be prepared for the future demands of society. The ultimate goal is to achieve both financial and social returns for all stakeholders involved.

RETAIL (PROPERTIES) MARKET 

The retail market is changing ever faster. Omnichanel has become an important channel for retailers to connect consumers, but consumers are also increasingly looking for meeting, experience, entertainment and innovation. Trends are not limited to national borders and have become international, which also has advantages. The street scene is changing because there is an increasing degree of vacancy in some cities. But this gives also opportunities for existing and new (brands)retail, food and innovative concepts (mixed-use) and will be also gives many challenging opportunities for investors and developers.

MORE DIVERSITY IN AN AREA OF MALL

A more diverse and balanced supply is created that brings supply and demand together. Not by simply removing square meters and turning them into offices, etc. But by introducing diversity into an area, this area becomes more attractive to everyone.
