We use our knowledge, vision and connections to redefine retail, mixed-use and travel destinations.
Strategic Leasing Advice
We provide invaluable insight and formulate innovative strategies.
SKI provides independent strategic advice for shopping centres, mixed-use projects and travel retail destinations with a focus on innovation and applying the latest retailer trends.
SKI helps to build the story, identify the most relevant retailers to attract and retain and communicate with them. We advise on market positioning, tenant mix, demand and retailer performance to help you develop a compelling leasing strategy.
SKI’s insight and knowledge of the retail market is strengthened through our work with some of the world’s leading, forward-thinking landlords and our global network of contacts.
The business focuses on utilising SKI’s landlord experience.
Star Retailer Relationships
We connect clients with the right retail brands to further drive their portfolios.
The key to our business is connecting our landlord clients with the right retail brands that make a difference to their portfolio. These star brands range from mainstream retailers, established brands evolving new concepts or expanding into new geographical territories and fast-growing digitally native brands opening physical locations.
Our portfolio of prime clients in the UK, Europe and North America and the trust built with both landlords and retailers has given us an extensive network of new and emerging brands.
In 2018 we identified the growth in the online, direct to consumer (‘DTC’) sector and built a specialist division for this in order to further service our clients.
Our Work with DTC Brands
DTC brands offer landlords opportunities that should be incorporated within every real estate strategy.
We have taken the time to understand the DTC marketplace, invested in a process to identify winning brands and built relationships with many of them. This work has enabled us to better understand the dynamic they bring to the consumer experience.
These digitally native brands have a very different approach from the traditional retail sector. As a result, they have very different needs. The best of them are highly collaborative and offer landlords opportunities that should be incorporated within every real estate strategy.
For landlords, the winning strategy comes from understanding these differences, needs and opportunities and bringing that strategy to life by working with the right set of winning brands. SKI help our clients to formulate that strategy and connections with our clients.
Connecting Landlords
We provide global connections.
SKI connects like-minded landlords from different countries through established personal introductions at board level.
These connections offer the invaluable benefit of shared experiences, exchange of knowledge on global trends and collaboration.
These forums encourage the quicker adoption of value enhancing innovations into our clients’ destinations.
