Retail Centre of Excellence
Online shopping and working from home are changing consumer behaviour, and thereby the usage of retail spaces, more quickly than we thought. As a property owner, you could potentially face premises remaining vacant over the short or medium term, and the challenge of safeguarding the long-term return on your property investment. For coveted ‘A’ spaces, you should ideally be able to secure a seamless transition to a new lease. Where this is not possible, however, you’ll need specialists who are familiar with the solutions that will keep your properties from staying vacant.
Livit reacted promptly to the current situation and has established its own Retail Centre of Excellence specifically for this purpose. As experienced marketers and managers of properties used for commercial purposes, we know which methods to use to prevent your properties from sitting vacant, and how to capitalise on existing initial leases.
Livit and the Glatt Shopping Centre – an unbeatable Retail Centre of Excellence
We combine our strengths in rental management with centre management knowledge from the shopping centre with the highest turnover in Switzerland: Glatt. Glatt was incorporated into the Swiss Life Group in 2020, a Group to which Livit also belongs. This has enabled us to extend our valuable network to include potential Swiss and international tenants. Whether you run a trendy food establishment, a high-class beauty salon or a dynamic sportswear chain, we know all the approaches that will hit home and can give you access to a diversified mix of tenants and sectors.
Repurposing and rethinking are the order of the day for our agile specialists at the Retail Centre of Excellence. We approach the task of reducing vacant properties analytically and strategically. The term ‘vacant property’ means much more to us than just ‘available space’, so we devise new conceptual ideas and create the most profitable proposal for your site.
You can rely on our in-depth experience developed over countless collaborations. Our success extends beyond the highly prized spaces in city centres or shopping centres with a lot of pedestrian traffic. We also know how to make effective use of spaces that are challenging to rent out and use.
«Your venture is in the right hands. Together with our team of marketing specialists, we have already successfully completed over 130 retail projects, and we’ll find the right tenants for your space as well.»
We tailor our services to suit your specific requirements:
- Site analysis and development, calculation of the current rental price
- Development of alternative concepts for spaces that are difficult to rent out
- Examples of vacant spaces, pop-up concepts, short-term leases and interim uses
- Professional marketing of the property
- Visits for potential tenants
- Selection of potential tenants, followed by signing of the lease
- Contractual negotiations for existing leases
