Have you ever seen a hoarding activated? When it comes to finding great spaces for retailers to activate in our centres, our Mall Leasing team explore every opportunity. They've leased common mall space, rooftops and now hoardings. With Pokémon collectible company, POP Attack, looking for a suitable space to position its Pokémon card vending machines, the team looking after Elizabeth City Centre in South Australia, identified a blank hoarding that could be utilised for a three-month period. A small space in a great location, the machines were live in double quick time with the initial conversation with POP Attack to the activation's installation taking less than a week! Mall leasing spaces can be an ideal first step into physical retail and help foster a closer connection between brands and their customers.

Emporium Melbourne’s leading stable of home-grown designers is bolstered with the opening of a Lana Wilkinson short-term pop-up.   Boasting the largest collection under one roof, Emporium Melbourne is the home of premium Australian designers, both long established and more recently launched brands.   Focused on delivering property excellence for customers, Emporium Melbourne’s leasing team identified Lana Wilkinson as a great fit for the centre and worked with the designer to understand her aspirations for growth.   Transitioning from online to a permanent store front can be a big leap so the team worked with Lana Wilkinson to identify a well-positioned pop-up space to help incubate the brand with the fashion-conscious Emporium Melbourne community, aiming for a potential permanent opportunity in the future.   Melbourne-born Wilkinson is a renowned stylist who has turned her hand to shoe design, establishing one of Australia’s most exciting emerging brands.   Vicinity Leasing Executive, Danielle Nohra said "Lana Wilkinson will be open for the two weeks leading up to Christmas and joins a long list of Australian brands including Scanlan Theodore, Aje, Zimmerman, and Kookai, who have in recent years consolidated their CBD footprint into Emporium Melbourne."   "We can’t wait to see where Lana’s journey takes her and the brand."
