CONTEXT

Our overseas client, a mall operator, experienced sustained declines in footfall and revenue, eroding tenant productivity and overall destination relevance. Leadership required a structured turnaround plan to identify root causes and rebuild the mall’s commercial engine. The engagement focused on diagnosing constraints and defining actionable growth levers.

THE CHALLENGE
