Opening a new bricks-and-mortar shop is more challenging than ever.

Asia Pacific enters 2026 amid shifting trade dynamics, inflationary divides, and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty. Despite this, fit out cost growth remained modest in 2025, with notable variation between markets. 

We offer tenant representation and acquisition advisory services for retailers and leisure operators. This includes market research to identify the best locations, lease negotiation, and due diligence. We analyse foot traffic, demographics, and competition to ensure your retail space meets your business goals and manages costs effectively.

We leverage strong relationships with landlords across Orchard Road, malls, and mixed-use developments to gain early access to spaces. Our advisors study customer flow, transport links, and neighbouring tenants to find prime, high-visibility locations. We negotiate flexible lease terms to support scalability and growth.

Successful retail investment requires knowledge of URA zoning, tenant stability, and rental potential. We assess occupancy rates, sales performance, and asset management to ensure income stability. Our team evaluates pricing, market cycles, and exit strategies to deliver the best investment outcomes.

We monitor tourist trends, spending habits, and popular shopping areas to help retailers capitalise on visitor traffic. Our research highlights emerging formats favoured by residents and tourists, from luxury concepts to experiential F&B. We also provide insights into retail supply, tenant shifts, and rental trends for strategic positioning.

We evaluate portfolio performance by analysing sales per square foot, rental costs, and customer satisfaction. Our advisors identify underperforming locations for renegotiation or closure while recommending high-growth expansion opportunities. For experiential formats, we source specialised properties and negotiate terms that maximise engagement and flexibility.
