A vacant unit is the most visible problem you have.
A dark unit does more damage to a town centre than almost anything else on it. We advise on structuring a temporary shop programme that is deliverable, funded, and attractive to the right occupier.
We also help PR and brand agencies plan pop up campaigns and prepare client pitches.

What town teams ask us first.
The questions behind a temporary shop programme, before it starts.
It works best as one part of the strategy for the centre rather than a response to empty units. We help you set out what the programme is for, what it should change, and how it sits alongside everything else planned for the town.
We do, if you want us to - unit selection, terms, tenant vetting and the running of the programme once it is live, reporting back to the team as it goes.
By putting reliable occupiers into them on terms that keep your options open, so the parade keeps trading rather than going quiet while a permanent letting is found.
Yes. We help PR and brand agencies plan, budget and pitch campaigns that include pop up activity, so the property side of the pitch is realistic before it is presented.
We give a realistic view of total cost before the scheme is committed to, so the budget reflects what running the programme actually involves.
It depends on how they intend to use the space. We set out the licensing and consents needed so occupiers are not held up once a unit is agreed.
