In South African property management, the alignment of technology and data-centricity is transforming how we make informed decisions. Advanced technology solutions enable real-time data collection and analysis from various sources, such as smart building sensors and user interactions with property management software. This capability allows property managers to gain instant insights into occupancy rates, energy consumption, and tenant satisfaction, facilitating timely decision-making. • 85% of property managers in South Africa now use technology to enhance operational efficiency, with real-time data analytics being a top priority. • Properties leveraging data analytics have reported a 15% reduction in operational costs. By harnessing the power of technology and data, property managers can optimise their operations, improve tenant experiences, and ultimately drive profitability. #DataCentric #Technology #PropertyManagement

Broll Property Group is proud to announce the successful launch of Parkdene Boulevard, a contemporary retail destination that promises an elevated shopping experience in the heart of Boksburg. The newly redeveloped 32,000 sqm shopping centre officially opened its doors to shoppers on October 24, marking the completion of a year-and-a-half project and a substantial investment in the local retail scene. From the moment of property transfer, Broll has been actively engaged in every phase of Parkdene Boulevard’s development. Our team participated in operational, design, and leasing meetings, providing expert insights to ensure alignment between the landlord's vision and tenant requirements. We emphasised the dual importance of operational efficiency and fostering strong landlord-tenant relationships, which we believe are vital for the long-term success of the centre. Broll managed every crucial aspect of Parkdene Boulevard’s launch with meticulous care. This included setting up utility accounts, coordinating with the sole trading tenant during redevelopment, and working closely with service providers to ensure a seamless transition from construction to an operational retail space. Additionally, we ensured that tenant leases were processed promptly, enabling accurate invoicing and a smooth launch for all involved. The opening day was a vibrant celebration, featuring a diverse range of stores and eateries, including anchor tenants like Checkers Hyper, Dischem, and Edgars. Each retailer contributed to the festive atmosphere by hosting their own opening activities and special promotions, reinforcing Parkdene Boulevard’s reputation as a retail hub with something for everyone. Community engagement was a highlight of the event, with local talents such as Junior Academy and the CBC marimba band providing live performances that entertained attendees throughout the day. The successful opening of Parkdene Boulevard stands as a testament to Broll’s commitment to delivering exceptional retail experiences through careful planning, collaborative tenant relationships, and operational excellence. #PropertyManagement #ManagementExcellence #RetailSuccess #ShoppingCentre

At Broll-managed malls, real-time data is a powerful tool that shapes decisions, transforming retail spaces to enhance tenant mix and elevate the overall shopping experience. By supplying data and insights, we empower our clients, landlords, and tenants to make informed decisions that drive success across the board. For instance, data insights could help identify a gap in the market for a particular retail need. By monitoring foot traffic, analysing customer preferences, and assessing tenant performance, unmet demands for product categories are identified. Armed with this information, new brands are proposed, that perfectly aligned with a mall's demographic. Data and Insights would then drive these gaps to be filled with increased foot traffic, meeting the needs of young families and elevating the shopping experience. As an example, real-time data revealed a growing demand for diverse food options. The mall and tenants responded with data-driven insights by introducing a food truck strip, which quickly became a popular destination for shoppers, adding a fresh and vibrant element to the mall’s atmosphere. This initiative not only satisfied customer demand but also created a new focal point for attracting visitors. These examples demonstrate how Broll not only uses real-time data to make informed property management decisions but also supplies crucial insights to our clients, landlords, and tenants. By equipping them with actionable data, we enable all stakeholders to optimise tenant offerings, address evolving market needs, and improve the customer experience. Together, we ensure that our malls continue to provide long-term value for everyone involved. #BrollPropertyManagement #RetailGrowth #DataDrivenDecision
