Portfolio Review: A periodic portfolio review provides a strategic perspective to existing tenant mix strategies, and it is critical to asset preservation. An evaluation of the individual locations’ performance/ productivity, trade area demographics, tenant mix and existing and proposed competition is conducted. A portfolio review forms the basis for key asset decisions such as anchor mix, inline leasing, remodels, expansions and dispositions.

Market Strategy: A market is a dynamic entity. Changes in competition, population distribution and road patterns can render locations obsolete. Location Strategies inventories market metrics impacting existing locations and those of key competitors. Recommendations are made regarding new opportunities, remodels, and expansions – allowing clients to keep up with market factors influencing their investment.

Mall Grading: Location Strategies has objective methodologies for grading shopping centers. The percentage of a retailer’s or developer’s portfolio held in specific grade categories gives investors important insight into the subject companies’ long-term viability.



Feasibility Studies: A Location Strategies’ feasibility study provides key revenue elements needed for effective financial analysis. Factors utilized in sales forecasts typically include population and household growth, accessibility and competitive strength in addition to other variables appropriate to the client. Investors are provided with sizing, timing, tenant mix recommendations and risk assessment.

Acquisition Analysis: Acquiring an existing center requires much of the same market due diligence as opening a new center. Although the current revenue stream is known, pricing is also influenced by the anticipated future revenue growth. This growth is impacted by market demographics, existing and future competition, anchor/tenant mix and long-term anchor/tenant viability. Location Strategies prepares a feasibility study for acquisition targets with specific emphasis on how these factors impact revenue growth.
