Site selection
We help you choose where a business should open in Abu Dhabi or Al Ain, matching catchment, access, visibility and occupancy cost to the business model before a lease is signed.
What we evaluate
The site is part of the business model.
- Catchment & demand
- Who lives and works within reach, and how they travel at the hours that matter to you.
- Access & parking
- How easy the site is to reach, enter and leave, especially at peak times.
- Visibility
- Whether customers will find the business without paying to be found.
- Co-tenancy
- The neighbours that bring footfall, and the ones that compete for it.
- Size & layout
- Whether the floor plate fits the operating model without costly compromises.
- Occupancy cost
- Rent, service charges and fit-out set against the revenue the site can support.
- Permitted use
- Whether the unit suits the licensed activity before money is spent on it.
