The primary catchment area spans a 5 km radius encompassing 2.5 million people, with a secondary 20 km radius, and a population growth rate of 1.5% annually. Median age is 32 years, with over 60% of visitors aged 18-35, including university students and young professionals in tech and creative industries. Household size averages 2.6 persons, tertiary education rate at 28%, and median household income at RMB 137,000 yearly. Retail spending per capita reaches RMB 36,000 annually, with apparel at RMB 7,200. Average monthly footfall is 1-1.5 million, yielding 15 million annually, with dwell time of 120 minutes and 25% conversion rate. However, youth unemployment at 15% in 2024 risks reducing discretionary spending, and footfall lags behind mega-malls like IFS at over 3 million monthly, potentially impacting secondary tenants.

Occupancy rate is 92%, surpassing the Chengdu average of 90.4% in late 2024, with vacancy at 6% and 5,000 square meters available, including flexible pop-up spaces from 50 square meters. The mix of 150+ units emphasizes fashion (40%), lifestyle (30%), and F&B (20%), anchored by local brands and pop-ups in streetwear and entertainment, including cinematic zones and art exhibits. This supports experiential retail but shows over-reliance on emerging categories vulnerable to trend shifts. High tenant diversity aids operational stability, yet limited major anchors compared to diversified competitors may constrain overall traffic draw, with 20% of similar outlets reporting sales declines due to weak non-essential categories amid 2.9% YoY consumption growth.

Base rents average RMB 250-450 per square meter monthly, with prime at RMB 414 citywide, offering competitive positioning through turnover rents linked to performance, 8-12% percentage clauses over breakpoints, and incentives such as 3-6 months free rent for leases over five years. Terms are flexible at 3-5 years, suiting adaptive retailers. Advantages include strong demand for creative spaces in a market with stable pipeline and no new core supply. Challenges encompass rent pressures from competition like Taikoo Li, market saturation in fashion leading to tenant poaching, e-commerce erosion, and economic slowdowns affecting impulse buys. Operational risks include urban congestion limiting accessibility and aging nearby infrastructure, with retail crime at 1 incident per 1,000 visitors managed by advanced security.
