Review the possibilities

Article Abstract:

The introduction of a specific use index, to ascertain the rental value of outlets, may help to bring a greater variety of retailers into shopping centres. In most centres the rents of all the shops in one location are affected by the performance of the most profitable shops. Niche or local shopping outlets are often not available in shopping centres because of the way rents are decided. Most shopping centres seem to house the same large retailers. Some shopping centres, in Scotland, have ensured a wide range of retailers by giving each unit a specific use.

Yields in a virtuous circle

Article Abstract:

Some foreign property investors are showing an interest in investing in Leeds, England. Property companies are looking to invest in properties usually taken up by the institutional investors. Retail rents in some areas of the city have increased two fold during 1994-1999, with many major retailers moving into the city. Some of the larger investment companies are already investing in Leeds, such as USS and Norwich Union, as returns on property are expected to be better than gilt yields. There is a shortage of suitable investment property to meet demand.
