Who we can help

We bring a rigorous analytical approach to a wide range of property advice.

Whether you’re an urban planner, an urban designer, architect, developer, investor, property owner or manager, we can help.

All you have to do is ask!

Retail is unlike any other form of real estate. Nowhere else is the interaction between form, content, market context and asset management so complex. Understanding and advising on retail requires knowledge and experience. At Urban Analytics, we offer both. We use our deep understanding of government statistics and the retail industry in order to forecast the turnover and rental potential of shopping centres, give centre size recommendations and composition advice. We also help to determine when to expand your property, how to do it and what to include.

Great master plans have balance. Balance between form and function, between shops and offices, houses and highways, spaces that are commercial and spaces that are contemplative. All too often master plans are led from a design, transport or infrastructure perspective only to undergo significant revision when commercial realities are taken into account. Save time and money by giving consideration to commercial aspects in the early stages. In order to achieve a truly balanced and financially viable master plan, a range of factors need to be taken into account. Economic analysis is one such key input.

How do you get to grips with a property market, where it stands and where it’s going? How can you plan when the most recent census is 50 years old and government statistics are unreliable? With experience in over 25 countries worldwide across both emerging and established markets, the Urban Analytics team has the skills and experience to determine the key features of any property market. With this wealth of experience, we can give you the advice you need whether investing or developing, wherever in the world you want to go!

You know what’s physically practical, we know what the market will support. Together, we determine the best commercial solution possible on any site. By forecasting the financial returns, we help you to understand the economic demand side so that the design process brings form, massing and commerciality into balance.

In a globalising world, cities compete. In order to get ahead, long term planning is common, taking into account a complex range of drivers from transport to economics and infrastructure to environment. We advise governments and planning authorities on the key demand and supply metrics that drive their city’s growth, and on how they should be accounted for in any planning process.

With a growing global tourism and entertainment market, it is ever more important to ensure your project will compete with the best the world has to offer. Understanding tourism flows requires a clear understanding of how local markets work – the headline numbers might be appealing, but if every tourist is travelling on business, will a theme park really succeed?
