Getting the right mix
Article Abstract:
Landlords must ensure they always abide by any policies they have set out in regards to the tenant mix in their proprieties. The policies should be detailed in order the courts can understand the reasoning behind a policy. A case heard in the UK courts upheld the right of the Crown Estate to stop the change of use of one of its properties in Regent Street. The courts, in a second case, stopped British Gas plc using one of its showrooms to sell electrical goods, which would have infringed the landlord's policy of not having shops situated in close proximity selling the same goods.

Homing in on retailers
Article Abstract:
Some UK shopping centres are concentrating on fulfilling a niche market whilst others focus on making the shopping environment as welcoming as possible.

Many developers research target consumers and existing facilities to offer the right sort of shops. Some of the regional shopping centres are facing difficulty in convincing tenants to move into a centre. Lend Lease have actively encouraged tenants which closely accords with consumer demand.
