Leasing

Through collaboration with other divisions within the company, Westfield’s Leasing division delivers a world-class shopping environment for customers. By delivering great retail stores which meet customers’ needs and aspirations, Westfield can maintain its competitive advantage as a world leader in shopping centres. 

The Leasing division’s relationships with both leading national and international retailers, including some well known New Zealand designers in the Nuffield Street and Westfield Albany stores, have enabled Westfield to develop great retail stores.

Developing new centres is always exciting. However, maintaining good-quality shopping experiences at 12 shopping centres with approximately 1,600 stores is an ongoing challenge and opportunity.

For example, in 2007 Westfield completed approximately 392 lease deals. More than 19% were new retailers that were introduced into Westfield centres for the first time.  This focus on re-invigorating the retail offering across the Westfield portfolio gives our centres the freshness they need to maintain their competitive advantage. Leasing provides a comprehensive service which helps identify, lease, design and open shops, delivering world-class retail experiences.

The dynamic leasing market ensures a constant challenge. Energy and passion of delivery are essential ingredients for success in this division, as is the ability to co-ordinate within a team environment to create world-class products.
