Retailer Services
Remember when the most important maxim was “Location, location, location?”
Today, smart business decisions about your real estate require complex information: lifestyle segmentation, demographics, spend forecasting,
competitive assessments, and site specific accessibility and visibility issues are the new retail location vocabulary. Whether you are expanding,
relocating, contracting, or just optimizing your existing locations, our professionals are here to help.
STRATEGIC PLANNING
We will develop strategic
development plans to achieve
your business objectives on an
urban, regional or national market
basis. Our comprehensive retail
site selection services take the
guesswork out of market location
decisions.
Our professionals use their local
market knowledge combined with
the most technologically advanced
systems to study demographics,
forecast future spend, assess
competitive landscapes and
identify trade areas in order to
develop flexible development
plans.

LEASE ADMINISTRATION
Real estate is a demanding
component of any retail operation,
and navigating the complexities
of multiple locations and markets
can be a critical challenge to
growth of your business.
From tracking locations, monthly
obligations, rent increases or
critical option or renewal dates,
our cutting-edge technology
platform provides you with a clear
and timely understanding of the
real estate component of your
business.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Nowhere are time and budget
constraints more critical than
in retail. Colliers’ professional,
certi fied project managers provide
leadership for your projects to
achieve aggressive turnover
schedules and get your doors
open faster.

SITE SELECTION
Once we identify target markets,
our professionals will source
the best locations available in
those markets, including publicly
available and off-market options.
We will use demographics,
spending forecasts, competitive
analyses and trade area analyses
to determine the right locations
for your business within those
markets.

From conducting feasibility
studies, navigating local and
municipal development approvals
to opening day, our proven
methodology delivers—on time
and on budget.

We ultimately secure optimal
locations for your business by
negotiating competitive lease
terms for each site.
