neWs THE MALL IS THE RIGHT PLACE FOR CULTURE AND ART LAURE Confavreux Colliex, executive vice-president of Lordculture, gave a MAPIC talk on how culture and art can be part of the in-mall experience. She cited Hermes, a new museum space at Charles de Gaulle airport and London Underground, among examples of what is possible when culture meets commerce.

“I am convinced that they [culture and malls] have a story to tell in common for their interests and to guarantee their sustainability and futures,” she said. She posited a future in which “real estate and retailers may become key stakeholders in the financing of culture”.

russian GROWTH WON’T HAPPEN AUTOMATICALLY RUSSIAN developers and shopping-centre owners must ensure they don’t get complacent in the coming years if growth is to continue, said Maxim Karbasnikoff, partner of retail services at Cushman & Wakefield.

Instead success will rely on staying clear on strategy, he added. “They will have to be focused on details and focused on customers,” he said.

While the current two-year pipeline, which consists of around 1.5 million sq m of space and represents around 10% of the overall pipeline, will be absorbed by current demand, Karbasnikoff said rents could be hit. “That wave [of development] will be swallowed by the market but we shouldn’t expect growth in rents because sales aren’t growing so much,” he said.

He added that the next wave of development from 2016 to 2018 is likely to see a negative shift in the market.

DreamWorks’ retailtainment malls are not far, far away

D

R E A M WOR K S’ Shrek and Puss in Boots yesterday joined Regions Management vice-president Alik Mutsoev for the official launch of the company’s new retail and entertainment concept.

The Russian company is investing $1.2bn in three new concepts, which combine a 150,000-sq m shopping centre and a 70,000-sq m indoor theme park with around 40 attractions from DreamWorks.

The first will open in St Petersburg in late 2015, the second in Yekaterinburg in 2016 and the final one in Moscow by 2018.

The centres will be the largest year-round indoor theme parks in Europe and follow the signing of an exclusive licencing agreement between Region GC and DreamWorks Animation for Russia earlier this year.

The shopping centre will be anchored by a supermarket, department store and major international brands and will include a 400-room hotel, food court, skating rink, 20-screen cinema and an 11,000 space car park.

“For any family there will be a double reason to visit our mall,” Mutsoev said.

Simplicity and creativity by Starck

Philippe Starck shows the tool required to use Bacacier by Starck

BACACIER has unveiled a new steel-cladding range in collaboration with renowned designer Philippe Starck, which the company says represents a major evolution for architecture and construction.

The range, Bacacier by Starck, was launched at a keynote session of MAPIC on Thursday, at which Starck presented his vision for the design to the conference.

“We have added intelligence and creativity to the process,” Starck said. “This is a small step for metal cladding, but it’s a huge step for architecture.

“Even on a factory architecture is very important. I see lots of ugly buildings and I think ‘What a shame’. We wanted to improve the environment and make attractive buildings.”

The range is based around simplicity and adaptability, allowing architects to design unique buildings simply and economically.

Bacacier says the cladding, which will be sold at a maximum of €90 per sq m, will enable small companies and startups access to design and construction and simplify their operations.

Appear Here (@appearhere) “Great to see another innovative company” just what we like to hear. 100s of landlords embracing change at this years #MAPIC ! #FutureIsHere REDEFINING RETAIL JONES Lang LaSalle (JLL) hosted a panel yesterday to launch its latest research Redefining Retail Places.

Joining JLL’s Robert Bonwell and James Brown, were retailers Francis McAuley of Debenhams, and Peter Williams of ASOS. The research discusses a range of key solutions to some of the modern challenges facing retailers and shopping-centre managers and investors.

GOIng shopping UNDERGROUND LONDON’s underground system attracts 3.7 million passenger journeys a day. But retail opportunities are limited, Stuart Anderson, head of retail at Transport for London said.

Only 57% of travellers ever use the station shops. But another 24% say they would if stations had a better mix of multiples and independents.

Anderson’s mission is to create new retail spaces in stations.

Space is at a premium and so he is looking to digital solutions to allow retailers to display a full range from small stores.

COME TO BRAZIL RETAIL projects across Brazil were presented yesterday in a rapid-fire pitching session.

Waldir Chao, Sonae Sierra Brasil’s leasing and property management officer, said it was perfect for businesses such as his — exhibiting at MAPIC for the first time. “Brazil is expanding and we need to attract more European retailers,” he said.

Best practice ensures Africa’s newest malls are a good bet

A

FRICA’s latest generation of retail malls are importing best practice from around the globe and adapting it to local conditions, according to AECOM director Ben Agyekum.

Agyekum pointed to the Actisfunded Exchange in Accra, Ghana as an example, designed

by HOK with an emphasis on sustainability. “With office, residential and retail space and a four-star hotel, this is a truly mixed-use development,” he said. Actis is also funding the Jabi Lake Mall in Abuja, Nigeria, which will be LEED-certified.

Dale Ramsden and Michael O’Malley of Johannesburg-based RMB Westport stressed that there are significant opportunities for retailers in Africa, with its first development fund focused on Ghana, Nigeria and Angola.

The Exchange mall in Accra, Ghana

A second, $500m (€371m) fund has been placed and they expect it to complete by the end of 2014, providing an investment chest of $1bn.

“The first fund was primarily backed by US and Middle East-

ern investors but there is a stronger European element for the second fund,” Ramsden said. “We have six schemes coming out of the ground. Africa is a huge opportunity for international brands.”

UDC’s Pearl Qatar sees growing demand THE PACE of development and leasing is accelerating at UDC’s Pearl Qatar, with three distinct retail zones totaling 175,000 sq m taking shape. General manager retail leasing for the project, Ehab Kamel, said: “We’re doing double the number of deals we were doing last year. The Pearl is appealing to a wider audience.”

The 85,000-sq m Porto Arabia is 70% leased, with the luxury retail already in place. “Now we’re looking for affordable well-

known brands,” Kamel said.

The 60,000-sq m Medina Central will be next to launch in the first quarter of 2014, and it is already 60% pre-leased with the multiplex cinema fitting out.

The final retail phase will be the 30,000-sq m Qanat Quartier.

“We’re already receiving expressions of interest, and leasing will begin shortly,” Kamel said.

A

LTHOUGH they are inherently temporary by nature, are pop-up retail stores here to stay?

This was the question posed by Peter Clucas, editor of MAPIC’s Innovation Forum Newsletter, speaking at the MAPIC Innovation Forum yesterday. “Perhaps the balance has been tipped in favour of retailers [rather than landlords],” he said. “But as economies recover will the balance swing back towards the landlords and will pop-ups disappear?”

The answer appeared to be a firm no as Clucas showed the depth and variety of pop-ups that have been appearing. Noting the use of containers as vehicles for pop-ups, he pointed to the Wahaca restaurant pop-up on the south bank of the Thames 104_MONDO_N1_PIC

and London’s Boxpark, which he said in spite of being a “temporary mall, shows no sign of going away anytime soon”.

In high streets and malls, Clucas said the quality is quite variable.

“The term has become attached to many things that aren’t really pop-ups. They are stores that have been fitted out.”

Strategically located between the first Bospherus Bridge and Istanbul’s new international financial centre, Emaar Square will be able to draw on a wide catchment area in the fastest-growing part of the city. In addition to the retail element, the multi-use complex will include a cluster of towers dedicated to residential, hotel and office uses.

Kiev was represented for the first time at MAPIC, in response to a rising wave of retail development in and around the Ukrainian capital and the country as a whole.

Kramarenko said: “Shoppingcentre development has increased tremendously in Ukraine over the last few years. Our developers are looking to connect with international retailers and we are here to support that.”

KCC is one of a raft of specialist retailtainment brands out in force at MAPIC this year. Among the international companies offering entertainment designs and products is Austrian developer Attraktion!, which is showcasing two of its robots in Cannes.

The company has teamed up with German mobile robots designer

Metralabs to form the We Robots brand aimed at retail entertainment.

Attraktion! business development manager Alessandra Constantinescu said that the entertainment sector has evolved in the past five years in response to changing demand and a more competitive market.

She said: “More and more projects are building large entertainment areas. It’s not just amusement parks. The future for retail and entertainment will be something involving virtual reality and gadgets. It’s no longer OK just to build a mall, you have to do something different.”

We Robots technology has also been exported to Asia, in particular in China where its robots have been used in the Macalline shopping mall in Shanghai to entertain customers by “dancing” in key areas. They can also guide customers to specific shops in the mall.

Also among the brands occupying the Retailtainment Zone at MAPIC was gaming technology provider Replay, which was at MAPIC for the first time.

Hunkemoller targets market lead in Northern Europe

N

ETHER LANDSbased lingerie retailer Hunkemoller is scouting for more locations to expand its retail concept, a mix of flagships, boutiques and compact stores. The retailer is particularly targeting Germany, Austria and Scandinavia as it looks to step up its current rate of 60 new stores a year.

Priscilla van Ooijen, manager, international expansion and real estate, said: “Our aim is to be the number-one lingerie brand in Northern Europe and we will have around 600 stores globally by the end of 2013. Around half our current growth is in the German market and this remains a very important growth region for us.”

Owned by private equity house BAI, Hunkemoller is also adapting its formats for this latest phase of expansion. Typical-

ly its stores operate from 120140 sq m of retail trading space but it is opening 450-sq m flagship stores to showcase its full range in major cities — with the next due to open in Antwerp — and it recently opened its first compact boutique format in Amsterdam.

“We have also launched a more ‘seductive’ store concept, which highlights some of our sexiest merchandise, as part of our strategy to develop as a recognised brand,” Ooijen said.

Hunkemoller is searching for prime high-street and mall locations as “high footfall is crucial because our price point is very accessible”, she said. The retailer is also keen to develop more concessions, having opened in Karstadt and V&D. Outside Europe Hunkemoller is expanding via franchise and is looking for more master-franchise partnerships.

Waskoll looks east for expansion PARIS-based jeweller Waskoll has been using MAPIC as a springboard for international expansion, according to international director Frederic Sourisse.

Famous for its distinctive designs using coloured stones, Waskoll has captured an elite clientele through its luxury boutique in rue de la Paix in Paris and through pop-up stores in Cannes during the summer and

Courchevel during the winter.

Now, Sourisse said, the jeweller is targeting Eastern Europe and Asia for expansion. But he made it clear that the choice of a partner is driven by more than just financial or real estate considerations. “We need local partners with a good network of contacts,” he said. “Every piece we make is unique and often tailor-made, so developing relationships with our clients is the key.”

Belgian cities presented a wide range of schemes at this year’s MAPIC

A

number of new schemes are transforming the look of some of Belgium’s principal cities.

In Brussels there are three major schemes, two under construction and one in the planning stage. The Docks Bruxsel, a mixed-use scheme with 49,000 sq m of retail and leisure and 7,000 sq m of office provision, is due to open in 2016, alongside the central 16,000 sq m Monnaie centre, which will open in the same year. The massive Neo scheme in the north of the city is due to come on-stream within the next 10 years, according to Julien Bacq, chief retail officer

for Atrium, the public agency overseeing much of the activity.

Elsewhere, the Rive Gauche mall in Charleroi, which will open in 2016, is a regeneration scheme for the former industrial city, with a GLA of 36,000 sq m, 82 shops and a hotel; and Liege’s 50,000-sq m Crystal Park and a 22,500-sq m mall in Namur, both under construction, serve to illustrate the width of the development pipeline.

Carine Dujardin, head of town centre management at Belgium’s Association du Management de Centre-Ville (AMCV), said that coming to MAPIC was considered vital by her association as a place “to forge links with new retailers and to exchange ideas”.

Cannes is key to growth in India INDIA is calling for more food and beverage (F&B) and leisure brands to enter the market as the country continues to build a more structured retail offer.

Najeeb Kunil, director of business development and operations for Pioneer Property Zone Services (PPZ), said that F&B and leisure would be important to combat the parallel growth in online shopping in the country.

“Food and beverage and leisure tend to be the best categories that will bring people out of their homes,” he said.

He said the market has the potential to explode in size and that its presence at MAPIC was also important to India’s learning. “In the early part of the decade we made mistakes but learnt because we got best practice from the rest of the world.

That learning has helped us to get systems and processes back on track,” he said.

PPZ is a joint venture between ICS Realty and Old Mutual Property and retail third-party developer of six properties, with another eight in the pipeline.

neWs Consumer demand attracts fast-fashion brands to China

Cushman & Wakefield’s Jonathan Hallet

CENTRAL EUROPE CATCHing UP WITH THE WEST THE LEVEL of shopping centre development in Central Europe is fast approaching that in the west of the continent, according to Cushman & Wakefield managing partner for Central Europe Jonathan Hallet. He said there has been “a huge level of development” in the region and added that the relatively small scale of potential projects was proving popular with companies behaving more cautiously in the current market.

114_FTI_N1_PIC

C

HINESE consumers are embracing fast fashion, and global brands are racing to meet their needs.

According to CBRE’s new research series China Retail: A Changing Landscape, the four market leaders — Uniqlo, Zara, H&M and C&A — had opened 523 stores in the country between them by June 2013. And 40% of these had been opened in the previous 18 months.

To achieve this rapid growth the brands are moving beyond the tier-one cities of Beijing and Shanghai into tiertwo and tier-three cities where not only do they find strong consumer awareness of their products, but they are also able to take advantage of abundant supply, lower rents and more attractive leasing terms.

With economic reforms expected from the new administration, domestic consumption is expected to become the major driver of

China’s economic growth. CBRE believes China’s retail market has enormous potential to be tapped in the years ahead.

However, the consultant warns that the retailers’ rapid growth strategy is not without risks. “There are concerns about inefficient utilisation of fast-fashion brands’ resources in China, particularly considering constraints on the skilled managerial and sales force and logistics networks during this period of rapid growth,” the report said.

T-CUENTO IS WATCHING YOU SPANISH data analyst T-Cuento has come up with a tool that can provide insights into shopper behaviour as it changes over time.

Through its relationships with retailers including Mango, Prenatal, Etam, Benetton and Orchestra, T-Cuento has installed sensors in shop windows to monitor pedestrian movements around the city streets.

The TC-Street tool allows retailers to measure conversion rates and to monitor the effectiveness of marketing campaigns and events.

RETAILERS looking to expand into new markets were able to make contact with potential master franchisees from around the globe at the MAPIC Power Meetings sessions.
