Abstract
As a key element of the commercial real estate world, retail real estate (i.e. shopping centers, retail parks and other retail, leisure and entertainment facilities) has commanded large investment volumes globally. Shopping centers have especially become an integral part of Turkey’s recent urban development. There was also a period of foreign interest in the Turkish market. Since these investments create large-scale, long-term and value-add ecosystems through professional business practices, attracting more foreign direct investment in this field would be advantageous. Yet, amid decreasing global appetite in the asset class and Turkey’s macro, industry-specific and urbanization-related challenges, a strategic approach is necessary to realize the country’s potential. In this respect, this study puts forward; (1) a new four-level pathway proposal (international, national, investment approach and project levels), (2) the related infrastructure (re-modeling the public-private cooperation, offering an online investor interface and creating a GIS-supported list of region-based investment opportunities) and (3) an overview of Turkish provinces. A new umbrella business association and efficient use of technology are also foreseen within this context. Literature review is used in this exploratory analysis.
