A shopping centre is a great investment opportunity, and the best ones have certain features that make them stand out. These include a privileged location, walkable space, water sources, vegetation, and attractive features. The location of a mall is key to its success. It should be in a prime spot that is free of debris and trash, and safe for customers.
Fountains and other elements can help reduce street noise and create a pleasant atmosphere. Trees and other shade options can help keep customers cool and out of intense sunlight. High-end malls have impressive facades, high-quality finishes, impeccable layouts, and exquisite interior designs. They are built around at least one full-size department store and often several specialty stores and boutiques.
Restaurants and movie theaters may also be included. Shopping centres are considered to be one of the safest and most lucrative physical investments in Pakistan. They are enclosed spaces with pedestrian areas that allow shoppers to walk without the interference of vehicle traffic. Reflective spots may be included for shoppers to relax, enjoy the view, people watch, or enjoy a snack.
Smaller formats such as neighbourhood malls focus on a supermarket with daily convenience stores such as a pharmacy, shoe store, laundry and dry cleaning. Wholesale market complexes may also function as shopping centres since they contain commercial spaces that act as stores do in normal malls. The innovative features of high-end malls guarantee higher capital gains and a stable flow of income with lower risk compared to other types of real estate companies. Amenities such as restaurants, banks, theatres, professional offices, service stations, and other establishments may also be included in shopping centres.
If a shopping centre is located in a well-known area and can be easily accessed from major parts of the city via public and private transport, the project is very likely to be successful.
