Commercial Space of the Year

Have you developed a destination that truly resonates with consumers?
This award will be given to a commercial space that has developed into something new and extraordinary during the past year, given its conditions and on its market. The development must have been well received by both occupiers and consumers and set a standard others will wish to follow. 
The winners will be announced during a gala dinner at XXX in Tampere on 21 March 2024.

Definition
A commercial space can be anything from a shopping center to an external retail park, airport or train terminal, a department store or a commercial district in a large city or a small town. The only requirement is that it has a at least 5 tenants and a minimum of 5,000 m2 of leasable area that is managed, developed, and marketed as one unit.

What are the judges looking for
The winner will demonstrate a clear thought process leading to the delivery of the development. This can be supported by empirical evidence (financial, footfall, value growth) and anecdotal information (consumer/tenant feedback, 3rd party testimonials).

Financial KPI:s

Financial KPIs are important in assessing performance. The KPIs are treated confidentially and only for the purpose of the competition. If you don’t want or can’t leave KPIs, the best available data will be used, e.g SSCD (Sweden) or KKY (Finland). The Jury Chair will contact the specified contact person to verify as much as possible of the key figures.
