Early Findings
The trend data for shopping centers is mostly positive.
Shopping center revenues are on the rise
, and
88% of millenials intend to do more of their shopping in malls and shopping centers
, so provision must be made for that.
Business in shopping centers in Europe have
grown annually at 4.5%
between 2010 and 2016, making expansions of those kinds of retail properties a consistently viable option.
55% of European customers expect would expect to be able to see movies in a mall, while 44% and 28% would like to see more of
restaurants and virtual reality entertainment/gaming
.
In recent times, the most relevant shopping centers have innovated to create
retail, leisure and entertainment destinations
as part of whole community developments.
The
Fiketorvet Extension
, which is part of the
Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield
Group, integrates its offline mall experience with an online experience for customers, allowing them to login and make purchases of movie tickets and enquiries online.
The
Westfield London
Mall is built with enough space to incorporate celebratory events, such as festivals and fun fairground activities.
Malls like the
Xanadu Mall
in Madrid have noted the need to provide a watering hole to accommodate changing demographics. The mall features a
ski slope, go karts, balloon rides, bowling and billiards
.
More malls are also creating
mall loyalty programs
to establish direct relationships with customers that go beyond each visit to the mall.
The use of technology is also a big draw.
Parking lot sensors
provide visual indicators to drivers, and
mobile apps
offer quick aid to shoppers to help them find what they're looking for.
