Um dia desse saiu um tópico sobre o ORUTUF de lajes, e já vi muito mimimi sobre "o shopping tá morrendo". Quem tiver tempo da uma lida nesse site, o uso dos espaço muda de tempos em tempos mas a demanda por espaço sempre existe.
If current trends tell us anything it’s that the malls of the future won’t be retail first. They will be community spaces with residential, hotels, offices and co-working spaces, health and beauty services, gyms, food and drink, events, entertainment and – yes – retail.
We may see services moving into them as well such as banks, doctors, dry cleaners, dentists, child care and more. These are the sorts of things that we access semi-regularly on a need-to basis, whereas retail is more want driven.
A mixed approach isn’t going to be a nice to have, but a need to have. According to GlobalData malls that offer more by way of services and experiences get more frequent visits and shoppers spend nearly three time more in them.
It’s something that Turkish developer Yaromir Steiner is banking on with his plans to turn a mall in Ohio’s Columbus into a full-on town. He pictures a place where you can live, go to work, shop, eat and go out. It’s an approach that does away with the traditional definition of the shopping mall. Instead of going to a centre, you’re already there and retail is all around you.
Location may also have a part to play in the success of these ventures. Columbus has been chosen because it’s considered to be a perfect mini test environment in terms of population and make-up. But other shopping malls are using their location in other ways. Oculus at the new World Trade Center in New York is a shopping mall, but it’s also a transport hub serving the nearby office buildings. As such more than 50,000 commuters pass through it every day, not to mention tourists, and with this footfall comes the likelihood of increased sales.
