1. Appointing a Designer
Once the tenant's lease has been executed, the Tenancy Coordinator will reach out to outline the process and request information regarding the tenancy's design, schedule, and construction. At this stage (if not already done), the tenant must engage a designer to design the tenancy.
If a tenant has not yet appointed a designer and requires assistance, the Tenancy Coordinator can provide a list of recommended professionals. If the tenant prefers to source their own designer, it is essential they meet the prerequisites set by the Landlord and that they receive the Fitout Guide before engagement. The Fitout Guide helps both the tenant and designer understand the design requirements, approval process and the level of documentation required for the Retail Design Manager and Tenancy Coordinator to approve the design.
Expert Tip
Choose a Designer with experience in shopping centre tenancies. This can save both time and money during the design approval process and on-site construction. Remember, the cheapest option is not always the best.
