Market AnalysisTenant Strategy
Retail Positioning
Good retail
starts before
construction.
The strongest retail developments are built around the market they serve. Location, access, demographics, surrounding development, tenant demand, and competition all influence how a project should be planned and positioned.
We help bring those considerations into the development process early, giving ownership a clearer picture of the opportunity before significant decisions are made.
The Development Process
Think through
the project.
Development strategy is most effective when market intelligence and tenant demand are considered throughout the project — not after the property is built.
Market Analysis
Evaluate demographics, population growth, traffic, retail supply, competition, and surrounding development.
Site Evaluation
Analyze location, visibility, access, surrounding uses, site characteristics, and the opportunity within the trade area.
Tenant Strategy
Identify the restaurant, retail, medical, service, and other users that make sense for the project and market.
Project Positioning
Help establish how the development should be presented to prospective tenants and the brokerage community.
Pre-Leasing
Begin targeted tenant and broker outreach while the project is progressing toward construction and delivery.
Lease-Up
Continue prospecting and leasing activity as the project moves toward completion and stabilized occupancy.
Market Intelligence
Understand the
opportunity before
building it.
Demographics
Population, household income, growth patterns, residential development, and customer characteristics.
Retail Supply
Existing centers, available space, competing developments, tenant mix, and market gaps.
Traffic & Access
Traffic patterns, major intersections, visibility, ingress and egress, and surrounding road infrastructure.
Tenant Demand
Active requirements, expanding brands, restaurant concepts, regional operators, and prospective users.
Tenant Mix
Build a reason
for customers
to come back.
Tenant mix plays an important role in how a retail development performs. We help identify users that complement the property, surrounding market, and overall development strategy.
