I had the pleasure of attending the Mall Of The Future Summit 2024 in Sydney, and it was truly a insightful forum. From today’s discussions it emerged that the key thriving in this new era lies in the ability of shopping malls to reinvent themselves, cater to the needs of their community, and create memorable, engaging environments that foster long-lasting relationships with customers. Below are a few of the factors fueling the transformation of malls that I noted during today's discussions. 1.     Focus on experiential spaces 2.     Smart malls with flexible technology 3.     Pop-up shops to test new concept 4.     Green malls/focus on sustainability 5.     Health and wellness zones 6.     Omni-channel retail experiences 7.     Flexible lease terms 8.     Community-building initiatives 9.     Smart parking solutions 10. Delivery and pickup hubs 11. Foodscapes for a day-to-night experience 12. Include age-specific spaces In order to stay relevant and thrive, malls need to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of consumer preferences and shopping behaviours. By embracing emerging trends like incorporating technology, prioritizing experiential retail, and reimagining physical spaces, malls can ensure a promising and sustainable future lies ahead. #design #shoppingmall #futurecities #retaildesign #mixedusedevelopment #architecturedesign #experientialretail #phygital #flexibledesign #futureplace #adaptivereuse #omnichannel #innovativearchitecture #clarkehopkinsclarke

As with any retail space, a flagship has to pay for itself not only financially but also in terms of increased brand awareness and real amplification of consumer touchpoints. I believe in creating 'instagrammable' moments, offering exclusive services, signature cafes & merch and other ancillary customer experiences can help, but there is no surefire way to success. #CustomerCentricity #CustomerExperience #DesignThinking #BusinessModels #HumanCenteredDesign #Innovation #Ideation #InnovationAcceleration #InnovationManagement #LeanDevelopment #ProductCreation #ProductDevelopment #ProductInnovation #ProductLifecycleManagement #LCM #R&D #Technology #turnaround #restructuring #strategicpartnerships #consultingservices  #strategicthinking #marketintelligence #strategy #strategic #capitalraising #capitalization#capital #innovateforchange #fundamentals #innovativesolutions #possibilities #sustainabilty #sustainableinvestment #businessconsulting #strategicplanning #consumers #businessmodel #bethechange #fundraising https://lnkd.in/eUA6mX3P

Retail has undoubtedly gone through large changes, but that doesn't mean quality experiences have diminished. Brands (especially luxury) are taking a more experimental route; including highly curated, interior-focused spaces or in-store workshops to encourage a greater product/consumer connection. Are there any retail developments you anticipate next year, especially with the growth of technology? #Retail #RetailTrends #ExperientialRetail

The difference between retail spaces that thrive and those that don't is simple: Thriving spaces: they reimagine and integrate. Struggling ones: they hesitate and stagnate. But the journey from stagnation to integration is interesting. Thriving retailers: • Integrate phygital store seamlessly  • Recognize stores as experiential hubs • See tech not as a threat but as a partner “The only way to really build a relationship is face-to-face. That’s human nature. That gets at the essence of what retail stores have to be about.” - Harvard Business Review This is why leaders in retail design are invaluable. They're not just designing spaces; they're crafting ecosystems where every element, from layout to shopfitting, synergizes with technology to create memorable experiences. So, to all retailers looking to redefine their spaces: the time is now. Don't wait to see what others do. Lead with innovation, integrate with purpose, and create spaces that don't just sell but inspire. P.S. Ready to transform your retail space into an integrated experience hub?
