Tony Gilchrist, Head of Development

Utilising our fully integrated business model, our property development team is able to identify and analyse strategic development opportunities to create value across the office and retail properties we manage.

With more than 25 years of experience, our property development model relies on an intensive asset management focus, drawing on the breadth and depth of our in-house research capabilities, complemented by external research, as well as our understanding of broader retail and consumer trends.

In order to identify opportunities, our development team analyses asset performance against competitor stock, and works to optimise positioning for each asset.

Within our retail portfolio, sale trends, underlying demographics, behavioural trends, broader market shifts, and customer and retailer feedback are taken into consideration as part of our overall development strategies. This analysis provides us with the tools to appropriately determine whether a development is warranted.

For identified opportunities, we are then able to devise master plans and incremental development stages, whilst undertaking market testing for leasing demand.

In every instance, our development focus is on risk management, from major tenant pre-commitment, design and consistency, procurement through to on-site occupational health and safety.
