Inspiring New Zealanders with the best-in-class Outlet Shopping Centre experience has set the benchmark for Tailor Inc’s role in delivering over 100 new stores in 2024

With a renowned reputation in tenancy delivery on large-scale retail projects, Tailor Inc has been engaged by their clientsAuckland Airport, to dig deep within its 35+ years of experience and set the pathway to deliver the extraordinary.

Martin Skinner, Managing Director of Tailor Inc, and Mike Chapman, Director of Delivery, will lead this prestigious project, advising the project team around planning and tenancy design requirements, whilst embedding the detailed framework for delivery as the leasing progresses in the background.

With their depth of knowledge in retail, they understand that the most critical stakeholder within the venture is the retailers and, ultimately, their customers. From the outset, they align and engineer all workstreams, provisions and programmes based on the needs of the retailers, which drives the right decisions and results in success.

“Our role stops when we complete the last shop, usually in the wee small hours, the night before the official opening of the shopping centre, “says Tailor Inc’s Managing Director. As the advocate for the tenants, we touch on many aspects of the project and will interface with all disciplines”.

Mirroring the client’s vision, Tailor Inc will be integral in curating an exciting, rewarding, and seamless experience in a uniquely New Zealand way.

Property Strategy: The heart and the start

Strategy is the heart and driver of each of our projects. Correct and comprehensive planning is the key to unlock varied property opportunities. Every project is unique. Only by asking ‘What?’ and ‘Why?’ can we then determine the ‘How?’

We begin by gaining a clear understanding of your business and goals. We gather information, and above all, listen before we strategise and brainstorm collaboratively. It means our strategic thinking is founded on real problems or opportunities, so the resulting projects will deliver true value to your business.

You’ll have the benefit of our team’s diverse and innovative perspectives from their varied design backgrounds, an agile design process to explore multiple avenues and our collaborative approach.

Your unique understanding of how your project will drive value for your business – that’s where we start. Then we look past the obvious to extract that intrinsic value. Part of that is allowing a project to evolve during its life cycle, with firm change management to avoid scope creep, overspending and time-wasting. Together we can help you understand how to work within cost and time constraints while retaining maximum flexibility.

At every step, we focus on solutions, leveraging our creative background, collective experience and network of consultants to manage time, cost, quality and scope.
