Staff in Leda’s Retail Division possess more than 20 years
experience in the development and
management of shopping centres throughout Australia. The division’s
proven ability to produce
developments that suit consumers, retailers and investors is based
on a solid investment strategy
and superb relationships with retailers. Since 1987, Leda has approximately
$1.2 billion (approx. 460,000sqm) worth of development and investment
of retail property.
The division concentrates on both purchasing shopping centres
for development and long-term
investment (or for sale), and acquiring shopping centres to expand
and refurbish for investment (or for sale).
Leda’s retail philosophy is a commitment to providing first-class
bright, modern centres designed for customer convenience and comfort
that reflect consumer demands.
The Retail Division pioneers new retail trends, such as bulky
goods retail centres and homemaker centres. Such centres are either
free standing or additional services to adjoining shopping centre
developments. First introduced during the design and construction
of Logan Hyperdome and more recently the developments of Kotara
Homemaker Centre, Sunshine Super Centre and the almost completed
Tuggeranong
Lifestyle Centre, this trend is revolutionising the retail industry.
Leda also specialises in shopping centre management with a dedicated
management team using the latest management software packages. The
Leda Group has completed nine regional and sub regional centres,
concentrated in rapidly growing southeast Queensland. With the exception
of the Victoria Point Shopping Centre, Morayfield Shopping Centre
and Tuggeranong Hyperdome, each of
these centres have been sold to major Australian institutions including
QIC, Colonial Retail Trust and MEPC.
