Building the future of retail

At the tail end of a quieter year for shopping centre construction in the UK, Mall Retailing offers a guide to some of the key upcoming and recently completed schemes in Britain and Europe.

It may be a challenging time in retail, but it’s certainly the best time for the more ambitious retailer to acquire shops, and the market is changing. Those retailers that are weathering the storm, and are planning expansion can reap the benefits.

The big shopping centre openings of this autumn in Cardiff and Aberdeen mark the end of the late noughties development boom. And the inevitable empty units stand testimony to the new reality of shopping centre development. But the tough market is good news for those retailers that are defying the downturn. There are opportunities to open more stores and secure better deals than in recent memory – the only issue is how many retailers are equipped to take advantage of them.
