Conclusion

East London is by far smaller than any of the metropolitan areas in SA (on previous page), but larger than Bloemfontein and Pietermaritzburg. The A++ - C household count of East London compares very well with Bloemfontein and Pietermaritzburg. When demographics are compared with available regional retail space (centres > 30,000m²) per metro / city, East London has a 45% under supply. The m² GLA per A++ to C household in East London is 19% below the benchmark. Thus an opportunity exist in East London for more regional centre retail space.

Primary Catchment Si te

The primary catchment includes the entire East London city area as well as Gonubie. Mdantsane is excluded from the primary catchment as a new large retail facility has been built there. However, the Hemingways node is expected to capture some support from this area. Mdantsane falls within the secondary catchment area.

Copyright 2008: Fernridge Consulting Primary and Secondary Catchment Areas

• Hemingways Mall is the first of its size and offer in the region. The mall is expected to have a substantial catchment area as residents of the surrounding smaller towns will flow into East London for higher order goods and services. Secondary • Support from all income groups residing in the primary catchment are expected. Catchment However, support from lower income residents (D Low income) residing in the secondary catchment area are expected to be limited. These residents shop at the local stores in the villages or towns as transport costs are high.

Primar Catchmenty

Nelson Mandela Metropolitan (Port Elizabeth) is a strong node. Residents west of the catchment who are not included will rather travel to Queenstown is included in the catchment area as there is a Port Elizabeth for retail and direct national road link between services. the town and East London. Previous research has indicated that residents flow to East London for higher order goods.

Centre Size (GLA) Market Share 75,000 14%

•The primary catchment area warrants a total of ± 349,000 m² GLA by 2010 and the secondary catchment warrants approximately 179,000 m² GLA by 2010. Combined the total warranted retail floor space by 2010 is an estimated 528,650 m² GLA. • The Hemingways regional centre with size ± 75,000 m² GLA would have to capture ± 14% market share by 2010 from the combined catchments in order to be viable. In our opinion a 14% market share by 2010 over the entire catchment is achievable. • Assuming that the current growth rate remains, a total of ± 7,700 m² GLA per annum will be added to the warranted retail floor space over the combined catchment areas. 40

Copyright 2009: Fernridge Consulting Methodology (summary)

Part 1: Prioritize Fashion Malls in RSA

We will identify the main fashion malls in . We will also rank these centres in terms of number of tenants, Number of fashion retailers and thirdly in terms of composition of high-end fashion retail per centre (Department Stores, Low Fashion, Medium and High Fashion). We will query the data and will select all centres with a high number of tenants and associated Fashion retailers. We will also split these fashion retailers into the respective groups as mentioned. All centres selected will be ranked in terms of the number of retailers and the proportion of high–end fashion vs. medium, low and department stores using store numbers. A centre with a high number of tenants and a high proportion of high-end fashion will rate high. It is expected that City will rank top of the list for example.

Part 2: Demographic Assessment per SC

We will also calculate the number of B to A++ income households within a logical catchment for the respective centres. A high number is good and a low number should signal risk (as demonstrated). The surrounding support play a very important role in the success of the centre. Income levels of the surrounding/supporting households are a very good indication of the type of retailers located in the centre. Higher income households will normally mean High End Fashion Retailers. The size of the centre (goods on offer) also determine the sizeFree of State the catchment. Most larger shopping centres pull from a larger area. Similarly, shopping centres in towns will pull from a much larger area (such as Hemingways).

Part 3. Comparison with Hemingways

We will then compare the benchmark (average) of number of upper income households of typical fashion malls with the actual number of upper income households in Hemingways mall’s catchment (as was delineated in our 2008 retail study for the centre).

Should a high-end fashion retailer consider the East London market, we are of the opinion the only viable option is Hemingways. CONTACT DETAILS
