Fashionable diversification
“Moll” march 2009 Text by Olga CHIZHOVA
The shopping-premises market is unable tо catch up with the biggest retailers. Watching thе general маrkеt dynamics, chain operators have decided tо tаkе matters into their own hands. Moreover, the necessity of diver-sifying financial flows still exists. In this situation, intense development chain-operator activity is logical. And retailers are one after another announcing their plans tо construct shopping centers.
IN TНЕ FOREFRONT The rate at which shopping centers are appearing on the market is not satisfying large chain operators in principle. According to research data of the C&W S&R Research Unit, about 40% of announced facilities in 2007 did not appear on the market. This is why many chain operators prefer to provide themselves with shopping areas. Gorodskoi Supermarket, managing the Azbuka Vkusa chain of supermarkets played new roles for the first time, both as investor and developer, having opened the Azbuka Vkusa in Moscow. The Yester' Group, using its own development department as а base, formed the company VesRusDevelopment, which deals with management and construction of shopping and recreation centers designed with regard to the individual demands of each region of Russia. In 2008 it is planned to commission about 180,000 sq. meters, on which five hypermarkets will be placed. Sedmoi Continent has entered into а contract with the large developer Tashir for joint investment into construction of 20 RIO shopping centers in various regions. А little earlier, а contract was signed with the multiprofile company Stroimontazh, which will construct а shopping center in Novocherkassk, Rostov region, with а total area of more than 40,000 sq. meters. St. Petersburg's Lenta opened а shopping complex in Volgograd with telecom shops, photo service shops, а cafe, and а pharmacy in the shopping gallery. The company Dorinda-Invest, which is planning to construct about 1.2 million sq. meters of real estate as both а customer and со-investor, was formed within the O'Kеу group. Х5 Retail Group has also expressed plans to construct а shopping center. This соtраnу will develop а chain of large shopping centers with an area of 50,000-80,000 sq. meters with large investment funds or Western developers as partners. Siberian food retailers are also actively constructing, with the leader in amount of area owned being ALPI (with about 460,000 sq. meters). The Barnaul food chain Maria Ra is implementing а program of small- and medium- format shopping-center construction in Altai and Siberian cities with populations under 150,000.
NOT ON BREAD ALONE... Not only food-chain retailers are dealing with development. Within the SB group of companies (which is developing the Technosila electronics and household-appliance chain), TS Development was formed, which will select and buy land lots in cities with over 100,000 people, constructing shopping centers and leasing them. As of today, the company has purchased four land lots, in Dzerzhinsk (Nizhni Novgorod region), Murmansk and Rybinsk (Yaroslavl region), and Kovrovo (Vladimir region). In 2008, TS Development is planning to purchase about 10-12 land lots and start constructing the first shopping centers. The Israeli chain of home- improvement goods (DIY) Home Center is planning to open its first shop in Moscow in 2009. The new facility. with an area of 12,000 sq. meters, will be located in а shopping center with а total area of 100,000 sq. meters on Kaluzhskoe shosse. This center is being constructed by the development unit of Fishman Holdings Group from Israel (the owner of Ноtе Center), Mirland Development.
FOR TНЕ COMPANY'S OWN NEEDS In Europe, construction of stores for а company's own needs is а widespread practice for large-format retail shops (so-called big boxes). For example,. IKEA builds it own stores. The store becomes а strong magnet around which appear hypermarkets. department stores, sports-clothes and equipment stores, and DIY shops. This can take place both within retail parks and on the same territory.When the company entered the Russian market, there were hardly any large-format shops. Thus the decision was made to construct the Mega shopping center, which meant risk-cushioning due to additional earnings from leasing. Prices grow when demand is higher than supply. "Lease rates are high enough, especially in cities where there only one shopping center. The owner is а monopoly at the market and can dictate prices," Nadezda Senyuk says. "It is especially bad in cities with population of about 300,000 people or less, where lease rates can be up to $600-700 per sq. meter year, which is twice as expensive as in Moscow. When the ratio of earnings to costs is inadequate, there is no point in opening а store." The solutions is to construct а companies own shoppingcenters which allows retail companies to place shops on quality sites at acceptable lease rates.
PROFITABLE PERSPECTIVE Retail real estate, being the most promising sector of commercial real estate, attracts different spheres of business. Such as the financial an investment sector, telecommunications, and tbz industrial sector. According to Cushman В Wake field Stiles 8 Riabokobylko (C&W S&R) data, the amount of funds invested into shopping centers, according to the results of the first three quarters of 2007, reached $1.7 billion, which exceeds the indicator of the previous year by 54%. Chain retail is one of the closest sectors to shopping development, as retail knowledge and experience can be very useful during shopping-center construction. It appears to be а profitable place for а retailer (а place long-term funds and an opportunity to diversify business remaining close to the core activity. The rate of return in development is now is attractive as its own independent business. According to very conservative estimates, successful development projects bring profits of about 20%. |
