Developers deal with potential and opportunity and go beyond what currently exists. FSP understands, through long experience, that it is possible to look forward and anticipate the shape and size of future opportunities. FSP is rigorous in spelling out and testing the assumptions needed to go beyond the data and put a measure on future potential.
The current economic circumstances are adverse, credit is difficult to source and the outlook is unpromising. Nevertheless, there continue to be development opportunities and economic activity will in time revive. Retailers need to continue to spread their overhead costs over additional outlets. Distinguishing retailers expanding from a position of strength from the others is as critical as ever. FSP has specialised in measuring retailer risk and can identify the financially strong retailers.
FSP advises 17 of the top 30 UK retail portfolios including Legal & General, Aviva and Prupim. Recent successes include Midsummer Place (Milton Keynes), Festival Park Outlet Centre (Ebbw Vale), and Union Square (Aberdeen).
