Despite obvious synergies , traction in malls has been sluggish . LDP have completed many market feasibility studies and entertainment strategies for malls , providing solid benchmarking , forecasts and tenant impact assessments for good concepts but often progress wains .
There are many hurdles to leap over before opening and this is where Lodestar comes in helping to unpick and guide operators and developers . Often , they are speaking different languages , be that business planning , metrics for success or understanding risk .
