Retail Planning and Forecasting

Back to services

Retail is unlike any other form of real estate. Nowhere else is the interaction between form, content, market context and asset management so complex. Understanding and advising on retail requires knowledge and experience. At Urban Analytics, we offer both. We use our deep understanding of government statistics and the retail industry in order to forecast the turnover and rental potential of shopping centres, give centre size recommendations and composition advice. We also help to determine when to expand your property, how to do it and what to include.

On the other side of the fence, you might have a successful retail concept that you want to bring to a new market. You know your product and how to sell it, but you need help understanding the new country you’re targeting. We can help. We provide advice for retailers looking to broaden their geographic scope, encompassing everything from general market information to demographic and income segmentation. We can help you select the best sites and then forecast the turnover you’ll get from those sites. Why rely on guesswork when you can rely on Urban Analytics!
