Anuj Kejriwal, MD & CEO - ANAROCK Retail, says, “The partnership will deliver scientific, success-oriented design solutions coupled with proven leasing and tenant representation services. Mall developers and retailers will benefit from cutting-edge architecture and store design that specifically address the new compulsions and realities of a post-Covid retail market. Simultaneously, our mall and store designs will fully reflect combined and individual brand values.”
With a typical contract lifecycle of 1.5 years, the new design services bouquet sits atop cutting-edge tenant coordination solutions. The combined services will include brands and location evaluation, cost estimation, and architectural design reviews.
Richard Kim, CEO & MD – Vindico, says, “This partnership is a powerful combination of experience and highly effective design capabilities that will usher in the shopping centres, branded stores, restaurants/cafes and airport retail spaces of tomorrow, for India’s organized retail industry.”
Vindico has provided retail design and delivery solutions to major retail players in Europe, the Middle East and North America. Expansion in India is a logical next step for Vindico; it counts the likes of Westfield, Heathrow Airport, and Aldar Properties, as well as Reliance Industries and LuLu International in India among its clients for retail design and construction services.
ANAROCK Retail has managed and executed 3300+ retail transactions across 55+ Indian cities, successfully closing leasing deals for the biggest international and domestic retail brands in India.
Merging specialised retail deployment capabilities and best-in-class leasing, transaction and management expertise, this partnership will be a gamechanger for Indian retail. In India’s pandemic-rebooted retail industry, mall and store designs are now critical from the perspective of social distancing and ‘touchless’ retail imperatives. In an industry wherein Covid-19 has rendered most previous design templates redundant, this partnership delivers both the know-how and implementation of extremely effective space configurations, and design elements to overcome concerns and ensure footfall and conversions.
