Shopping Center and Retail Studies

Our studies for retailers are usually of two types. The first type is an examination of a specific site to determine the amount of business volume that can be done at present (and in the future) in this location and the amount of sales space and parking needed to achieve that volume. The second type of study is community or area oriented and forecasts the potential market. In addition, we can identify a saturation pattern to assist in site selection.

A shopping center study includes:

A valuation of the gross market for retail establishments to be located within the shopping center
A determination of the limits of the effective trading area of the shopping center
An objective evaluation of the competition

Such a study may help to identify the kinds of retail units, which should be included within the shopping center and their potential sales volumes. It may also determine parking requirements, space requirements for each of the retail activities, and project potential gross rents.

A shopping center or retail area analysis is a useful instrument to:

The developer in evaluating the economic feasibility of construction on a particular site
The owner in projecting estimated gross sales volume, net sales area required and the anticipated rental income for each type of retail unit
The lender in evaluating trade potential, sales potential and probable gross income
The architect in formulating design requirements, grouping outlets to compound sales, and controlling costs against estimated rent
The prospective tenant in supporting estimates of sales volume.

The conclusions and recommendations of shopping center analyses are based upon three categories of data: Our data bank, original research and recorded experience.

Special Market and Location Reporting

There are a large number of market analyses and location studies related to real estate uses but highly specialized in character. LAMB HANSON LAMB Appraisal Associates' years of experience in diverse special project appraisals support and enhance our ability to provide highly competent analyses to aid in the determination of economic potential based on factual findings.

Development Feasibility Studies

Studies of Hotels, Motels and Resorts: One of the most dynamic and fluid of real estate uses in recent years has been that of transient accommodation, and LAMB HANSON LAMB Appraisal Associates has kept abreast of the latest developments in this field.; Scientific location techniques are designed to select locations which not only take advantage of normal weekly and seasonal peaks but which also minimize business loss during typical off days and slow seasons. These techniques require a graphic analysis of traffic from each of the possible sources of business:
Terminal Business: Business travelers visiting plants or offices in the vicinity.Vacationers spending several days or more in the vicinityPeople visiting residents of the surrounding communityPeople attending group meetings or conventionsGuests attracted by special events/features in the area vicinity.
Transient Business: Business travelers passing through. Vacationers and others passing through on private errands.; The character of vacation travel and tourism is changing with new options in transportation modes and increased leisure time. New destination areas have sprung up where none existed before, and older destination areas are finding that their whole factor of "accessibility" has changed.LAMB HANSON LAMB Appraisal Associates conducts basic studies of market changes and engages in research projects for communities and individuals to determine maximum feasibility of large recreational areas, hotels and motels.
