The retail sector is undoubtedly the fastest moving player in property terms, with a changing mix of local and national multiples continuingly seeking property solutions to meet changing patterns and trends in consumer purchasing. At OKT our retail team keeps abreast of national trends, having established good relationships with retailers and landlords, using this knowledge to the best advantage of our retained clients and developers. The past 15 years has seen unparalleled development in the retail sector with the arrival of the major UK supermarkets, the development of retail parks to meet the needs of bulky goods retailers and the influx of food and beverage traders from coffee shops through to formal restaurants. As challenges continue in both the ‘high street’ and ‘out–of–town’ sectors, OKT seeks to forge relationships with new entrants to the market, remaining at the forefront of retail acquisitions and disposals.
