Just starting your business?

Specialty Leasing is a great opportunity for the entrepreneur.  You can own your own retail business without the cumbersome overhead of other retail or franchising opportunities.  We can help you find the right location in one of our 56 Centers in the United States.  We can provide you with demographics, market indicators, and consumer research to help you learn more about your market area.  From there, we can help you find the right location within the center that best suits your needs.  We can even help with your merchandising strategy by connecting you with trusted wholesalers and manufacturers who can provide your product selection.  We are happy to offer great short-term rental rates so you can get started without making a significant commitment of time or money.  Even if you are not sure if the Specialty Leasing business is right for you, give us a call and we'll help guide you through your decision process.

Specialty Leasing Retail Offerings

Westfield offers you three general types of Specialty Leasing options that are customizable in an infinite number of ways.

Retail Merchandising Units (also known as RMU's, Mall Carts, Common Area Stores) are the quickest and easiest way to establish your retail presence in a center.  Ready in only a few days, they offer a sense of stability and permanence that gives your business the stability it needs to inspire confidence in your customers.  Our RMU's have 360 degree visibility and locations that offer very high customer traffic.  We offer turn-key solutions and provide guidance on all operational aspects of your business so you can focus on selling.  Our leasing terms on RMU's are the most flexible of our offerings.

Floating Retail (also known as Kiosks) will afford your business and product unparalleled exposure and permanent long-term real estate within our centers. Floating retail gives you the ability to have front and center interaction with the shopper; Kiosk designs offer standard sites averaging 150 square feet. Floating retail design is entirely customizable to fit your business, product and merchandising strategy in order to maximize sales and company success.  Our specialized Floating Retail team ensures you a level of service that extends beyond the local level so that your individual, as well as national needs are answered and expectations exceeded.

Temporary In-Line Stores enable you to take advantage of seasonal vacancies of in-line retail spaces in our centers so you can dramatically expand your sales over a short period of time.  These offerings give you the greatest opportunity to turn your business into an established presence that matches national retailers on a test or temporary basis so you can gauge the potential to expand without making the large financial commitment of a full lease.  Our Specialty Leasing management team has opportunities that become available on a weekly basis - please contact us so we can make you aware of these opportunities in your area as they arise.
