The complexity of retail centre hierarchies means that a new development can a have a range of impacts on competing centres. CACI's monitoring of retail developments ensures that property owners and occupiers can be aware of changes in shopping patterns before they happen.

We are able to identify centres facing decline and the extent of that decline over the next few years. As a result new store acquisition can be made on the basis of current trading patterns and trading scenarios that take account of the development pipeline. Similarly where occupiers are looking at new centres we can identify the effect on existing stores.
