Metier - The Retail Property Specialists

ABOUT

Essentially there are two types of property managers. There are the traditional property managers that react to market dynamics and thus are able to assist their clients in keeping pace with market performance...

...and there is a breed of professional property managers who work to create the market dynamics and thus establish higher levels of performance in the market place that others must try to keep pace with. Many of Australia's higher profile managing agents have long operated in the traditional manner for their clients and today are struggling to make the transition to the new, proactive mindset.

Our mission at Metier is to be a proactive participant in creating the dynamics of the markets in which we operate, to seek out opportunities that provide incremental benefits to our clients and to employ leading edge systems and techniques that serve to maximise efficiency, productivity, performance, and cost effectiveness. To this end we have brought together a group of professionals in retail management that have successfully led the growth of our company's retail business over the last several years.

As residents flock to move closer to some of Adelaide’s finest beaches, the sprawling population has lead to a number of residential developments. The demographics and expenditure capacity indicate a largely untapped retail catchment.

The Seaford Shopping Centre redevelopment is another Macquarie CountryWide Trust project. Doors to the redeveloped centre opened in late 2006, when the existing centre was fully refurbished.

Seaford’s total retail expenditure is estimated to be around $240 million, of which around $151.5 million is generated in the primary sector. By 2016, this is expected to increase to $340.5 million, which would represent average annual growth of around 3%. Currently half of this expenditure is leaving the area. Seaford Shopping Centre added around 11,760 sqm of retail space and captured approximately $45 million for a full year of trading in 2007/08.

Macquarie CountryWide’s redevelopment of Seaford Shopping Centre is set to transform this centre to create southern Adelaide’s ultimate retail experience.

Modern finishings and open floor plans have delivered a fresh and rejuvenated shopping encounter. Customers enjoy convenience and choice with two full line supermarkets, a discount department store and around 60 specialty retailers.
