Property Management

Exceptional shopping centres are at the core of who Vicinity is. It’s our speciality. It’s what we do. Property Management is the team that opens the doors to our centres every day; they ensure the physical building is operating efficiently, they look after our retailers, they support our consumers, they are the centre marketers, and they ensure that the centre enriches the communities they serve with the experiences they need.

Development

Our developments pave the way for our bright future. We are growing the value of our property portfolio with a rich, nationwide sustainable development pipeline containing a variety of retail enhancing and city-shaping projects. Our Development team manages multiple projects from the development and implementation of the agreed redevelopment strategy for the asset, and they drive and deliver the development process from concept stage through all internal and external approvals to final delivery.

Innovation & Information

Within our Innovation & Information team, we’re doing many things for the first time. We use our in-house Data Science and Strategic Insights teams in combination with cutting-edge technology to explore how we can make the customer experiences better, easier and more enjoyable. In Innovation & Information we dare to dream, test and explore. We incubate ideas that will redefine our industry. So far we have trialled and implemented solar panels, drone delivery, distribution and logistics hubs, and heat-mapping technology...and that's just the start!
