Town Centre Regeneration

Retail regeneration strategies are often based upon ‘theoretical’ capacity rather than hard evidence.
FSP combines a lifetime of retailing experience with effective evidence of consumer, retailer and town performance to focus on realistic, deliverable strategies.
Opportunities are clearly prioritised, strategies are practical and visions based in commercial reality. FSP gives clear direction and uses illustrated examples to produce simple solutions to complicated problems. Our goals are to;

  • Identify winning retailers
  • Identify losing retailers
  • Benchmark risk
  • Identify market opportunity
  • Identify customer opportunity
  • Retail circuit analysis
  • Consult consumers on both strengths and weaknesses
  • And eventually, create sustainable solutions

Benchmarking

To compare target locations with similar destinations, FSP interrogates a wide range of database information. This enables a clearer understanding and evaluation of present performance and future potential across towns and cities, shopping centres and retail parks. FSP output provides an evidential basis for assessing comparative opportunities and threats.

Retail Viability

To assess the current and future viability of retail destinations, FSP uses a variety of analytical tools and techniques. Having diagnosed present vulnerabilities and opportunities, FSP models scenarios for change based on thoroughly tested and transparent methodologies. FSP works with owners and investors to implement agreed strategies and strengthen performance and asset value.

Retail Asset Benchmark

Driving higher returns from retail assets by continuous assessment of the key value drivers is powered by the FSP Retail Asset Benchmark. Using the benchmark to develop action plans, Retail Asset Managers can improve the value and protect the viability of the asset. They can both reduce risk and increase asset revenues and margins.

Due Diligence

FSP carries out pre-acquisition due diligence on retail assets, both in-town and out-of-town. While appreciating the time-sensitive nature of these projects, FSP work nevertheless remains transparent and thorough. FSP works with investors to identify and prioritise key areas of retail performance and potential and works with the implementation team to deliver the planned improvements.
