KOW sector experience
Retail & Mixed-Use
Single-use retail and vertically integrated developments that combine residential, commercial, parking, and public spaces.
The asset context
Understand what makes the project different.
Retail and mixed-use assets bring different occupants, systems, access patterns, delivery obligations, and operating schedules into one property. In vertically integrated developments, interfaces among residential, retail, office, parking, loading, and public space deserve particular attention.
KOW evaluates the asset or project as a connected whole while keeping use-specific risks visible. Reporting can support a single transaction, an active development, or a portfolio of stand-alone and mixed-use properties.
What we look for
Read the assignment in the context of the asset.
Design, construction, operations, finance, and end users meet differently in every property type. For retail & mixed-use assignments, our teams calibrate fieldwork and reporting to the property, the transaction, and the work the client has asked us to perform.
