FAQs

Modern malls are evolving into dynamic mixed-use destinations. Many now include residential areas, co-working spaces, healthcare facilities, entertainment zones, and green spaces. Additionally, local businesses, pop-up experiences, and community-driven events are becoming common features.

Redeveloping malls presents opportunities to reposition underperforming properties into vibrant, experience-driven destinations. Owners and investors can unlock new revenue streams through residential units, office spaces, hospitality, and experiential retail.

By diversifying their offerings, malls attract a broader audience, increase foot traffic, and generate multiple revenue streams. Enhanced experiences also drive community engagement and contribute to long-term economic sustainability.

Entertainment is a major draw in modern malls. Many properties now feature esports arenas, VR gaming zones, theaters, bowling alleys, and live performance spaces to create engaging experiences that attract visitors and extend dwell time.

Decisions are often guided by market research, community input, and analysis of consumer behavior to identify the right mix of retail, residential, office, and entertainment spaces. Collaborating with local governments and stakeholders ensures projects align with regional goals and community needs.
