Secondary and tertiary shopping centres...the future

We act for a number of investors in regional shopping centres, whether they are institutions or private equity funded asset managers. 

The sector has its strains at the moment undoubtedly, but the yields remain strong and we have not seen investment appetite drop off as some have predicted. 

Our clients continue to invest and see positive opportunities in the sector. Asset management is key and initiatives to create vibrant and interesting retail centres will reap rewards.

There will be some significant investment opportunities in this sector. People will always want to visit shops, restaurants and bars and not just stay at home on the internet.
