Retail space that is part of these strategies must be suitably attractive. This applies to features including the architectural design of shopping centers, signage, and parking. Another issue of concern to an ever-greater number of retailers is the additional cost associated with renting space: operating costs, heating and utilities. It is therefore becoming increasingly important to develop solutions to reduce these costs.
