Case study
See how we've helped landlords, developers and operators respond to unique retail challenges through tailored advice, leasing strategies and market insight.
These examples demonstrate how we apply our expertise across different retail environments and project types.
Woodlands Health Campus sought to introduce a retail offering to support its healthcare environment while enhancing its role as a community destination for the surrounding population.
We carried out detailed catchment and competitive market analysis, benchmarking the development against other public hospitals across Singapore. Our findings informed a targeted retail trade mix designed to meet the needs of healthcare staff, patients and visitors.
Recommendations included a range of retail and F&B operators, a 24-hour gym and convenient grab-and-go food concepts to support varying work schedules and visitor requirements. We also advised on sustainability considerations, negotiated commercial terms, supported lease execution, and managed post-leasing operations.
Additional recommendations included RFID-enabled retail experiences, manpower-light food concepts and the potential introduction of 24/7 AI-enabled convenience stores, supporting the client's vision for a future-ready healthcare campus.
Notwithstanding the recovery in city-centre activity, Singapore’s retail sector is transitioning from aggressive expansion to a phase of outlet optimisation, where differentiation and experience-led strategies take precedence. Success is now defined less by footprint and more by finesse.
