Vindico Retail to create retailmomentum at Al Rahmania Mall

Vindico Retail has been appointed by the Sharjah Cooperative Society to provide a complete retail design and delivery solution for Al Rahmania Mall.

The mall, anchored by the developer's own hypermarket, holds 112 shops and restaurants across 20,043 square metres of gross leasable area, many of them brands making their debut in Sharjah. The scope covers all four of Vindico's products — Content, Design, Manage and OnSite — inside a service level agreement that aligns retail delivery outcomes with actual project activity.

Paul Mathews, Director of Retail Delivery, says shopping centre development is difficult, and that understanding the leasing and construction processes and the risks clients manage is what allows the firm to focus on outcomes achieved rather than hours worked.

The fixed cost of a traditional, resource-based solution did not work for this project. Without an alternative, our client's brand partners would have more barriers to overcome to get their shops and restaurants open and earning on time. Delayed openings take away from the customer experience, and for a client with such a strong social conscience, diminishes their capacity to give back to the community.
