When done properly, the shopping centre will create a loyal footfall of shoppers, strong performing tenants, and an increase in asset value. If not done correctly, a shopping centre can have difficulty filling vacant stores and continue declining in relevance, regardless of its location. Within this guide, you will learn the fundamental elements of tenant mix planning, why it is important to both developers and owners of commercial real estate, and strategies for developing a forward-thinking approach versus a reactive approach to tenant mix planning.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad374f8 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad374f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Key Takeaway:\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec8ef36 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec8ef36\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Retail category and brand alignment as well as space allocation between tenants to real (versus assumed) demand and tenant mix planning creates a functional retail environment.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A well-planned tenant mix can increase foot traffic, increase dwell time, and generate ongoing revenue while an unplanned tenant mix may increase vacancy rates and lead to tenant attrition.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tenant mix strategies should be evaluated on a regular basis and be based on comprehensive market research, strict leasing procedures, and continuous performance analysis.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d86cbc elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5d86cbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is Tenant Mix Planning?\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9e1e488 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9e1e488\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Definition and Purpose of Tenant Mix Planning\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebd1ae0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ebd1ae0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The process of tenant mix planning refers to the planned selection, placement, and balanced distribution of retail categories in a shopping centre to align their availability with what customers want to buy while providing the centre with its own income potential.

A Complete Guide for Mall Owners and Managers A well-planned tenant mix is the foundation of a successful shopping destination; however, it\u2019s frequently not considered until after the lease targets have been met. When done properly, the shopping centre will create a loyal footfall of shoppers, strong performing tenants, and an increase in asset value. If not done correctly, a shopping centre can have difficulty filling vacant stores and continue declining in relevance, regardless of its location. Within this guide, you will learn the fundamental elements of tenant mix planning, why it is important to both developers and owners of commercial real estate, and strategies for developing a forward-thinking approach versus a reactive approach to tenant mix planning. Key Takeaway: Retail category and brand alignment as well as space allocation between tenants to real (versus assumed) demand and tenant mix planning creates a functional retail environment. A well-planned tenant mix can increase foot traffic, increase dwell time, and generate ongoing revenue while an unplanned tenant mix may increase vacancy rates and lead to tenant attrition. Tenant mix strategies should be evaluated on a regular basis and be based on comprehensive market research, strict leasing procedures, and continuous performance analysis. What is Tenant Mix Planning? Definition and Purpose of Tenant Mix Planning The process of tenant mix planning refers to the planned selection, placement, and balanced distribution of retail categories in a shopping centre to align their availability with what customers want to buy while providing the centre with its own income potential. In essence, tenant mix planning identifies which retailer will be in which space and the rationale behind this determination. Why Tenant Mix Matters in Modern Shopping Centres As shoppers today compare malls to the ease of shopping online and other competing shopping environments, each tenant mix decision affects the degree to which the shopping centre is seen as relevant today (as of the first day of store opening) as well as in five years. The Importance of Tenant Mix Planning for Mall Success Enhancing Customer Experience and Convenience When a shopper can check out multiple items typically found at separate stores in a single shopping trip, that creates a positive shopping experience. This is especially important for grocery, dining, and service retailers, as shoppers will have a tendency to do their shopping expediently rather than walking around to get to their desired store in a centre. Increasing Foot Traffic and Dwell Time Once a shopper is drawn to the centre by anchors, having the correct supporting mix extends the shopper&#8217;s time in the centre, which benefits the tenant&#8217;s bottom line and sales performance. Supporting Long-Term Revenue Growth The true value of tenant mix planning becomes apparent when you compare centres during lease renewals; a centre with a balanced category mix typically has greater leverage than a centre that leans toward only one type of category mix. What Does Tenant Mix Planning Involve? Understanding Customer Demographics and Shopping Behaviour The demographics, income distribution, and spending patterns of the surrounding area should be the primary drivers for all category decisions rather than blindly applying historical assumptions that were used in other markets. Selecting the Right Retail Categories and Brands Tenant mix planning is bringing the right brand profile of retailers to suit the catchment area of the centre regarding the purchase power of the community and lifestyle aspirations of those living in the catchment area. Balancing Anchor Tenants and Speciality Stores Anchor tenants will attract traffic to the centre, and speciality retailers will convert that traffic into differentiation and higher margin. Both need to be located purposefully and not by chance. Allocating Space Strategically Across the Mall The configuration of tenants is very important. When similar retail categories are located in close proximity to one another, shoppers will tend to spend longer in store; however, when competing tenants are poorly located, they may negatively affect one another&#8217;s sales. Monitoring Performance and Adjusting the Mix The development of an appropriate tenant mix is not a one-off activity. Adjustments to the tenant mix need to continually take into account sales density, foot traffic data and lease expiries. Key Factors to Consider in Tenant Mix Planning Market Research and Location Analysis Phil McArthur &amp; Partners base their feasibility studies on real demand signals when making recommendations for categories and brand decisions instead of optimistic forecasts. Competitive Positioning Knowledge of centres&#8217; strengths and gaps allows for avoiding duplication (in a category that is over-supplied) whilst also allowing for surfacing a category that is under-supplied to be developed. Lease Strategy and Occupancy Goals Leasing terms, rental structures, and tenant covenants should be aligned with the centre&#8217;s positioning rather than just being used to fill space quickly. Future Retail Trends and Consumer Demand Phil McArthur &amp; Partners and other experienced retail specialists advocate that any strategy of tenant mix development should be based on market data rather than assumptions especially when it comes to F&amp;B, entertainment and service categories that are becoming increasingly important to regional centres. Advantages of a Proper Tenant Mix Planning Strategy Higher Occupancy Rates High-quality co-tenancy synergies help attract good quality customers who will continue to use your business and help develop an ongoing relationship where they will return regularly to your centre. Improved Customer Retention By providing customers with a consistent selection of products\/services across different categories within the shopping centre, they become used to visiting the shopping centre repetitively. Stronger Retailer Performance Good adjacencies\/categories between the businesses will offer each individual tenant access to foot traffic on a shared basis and support customers&#8217; cross-shop purchasing habits. Increased Asset Value and Investment Returns In addition, using an effective tenant mix planning strategy will add value to the total value of an asset and increase its attractiveness to investors when it comes time for them to sell or refinance that asset.
