KJ Tait provides consultancy services in the retail sector for a number of Clients.
Our principal retail involvement is in supporting abrdn on their shopping centre portfolio and Ediston on their retail parks and retail parks investment portfolio, overall comprising around 15 sites.
Our role
Our principal input is in alterations to suit new Tenants. In recent years, there has been a shift from a demand for large stores to medium stores which has required redesign of services infrastructure to suit.
We also work with retail Clients to provide condition surveys and dilapidations reports which may influence the future of stores.
In an effort to reduce running costs, most covered shopping malls have removed cooling plant and have restricted the use of mechanical ventilation plant.
