Why the right co-tenants matter as much as filling the space.

A retail centre is more than the sum of its leases. Tenants that bring repeat, everyday trips make the whole centre stronger, and a new tenant that complements them does better than one that competes with them.

How we plan it

  • Start with who is already there, and what trips they generate
  • Identify uses that add to those trips rather than duplicate them
  • Match suite sizes to the operators who fit them
  • Market each space to that operator directly

At The Shops at Smithville, committed service tenants shaped which uses we target for the remaining suites — medical, restaurant, fitness, professional services and specialty retail.
