SAN JOSE, Costa Rica, (CentralAmericaData) – Defining the design of a shopping center, determining the mix of store types and the optimal size of stores to maximize the benefits of commercial areas, are objectives that can be achieved through the proper analysis of large volumes of data.
The volumes of data being generated in the digital environment every second enables business leaders to make well-informed decisions that are based on the analysis of empirical evidence.
- How many stores should be built in a new shopping center or shopping plaza?
- What types of retail should be contemplated in the design of the property?
- How many consumers might visit the site?
- In terms of the mobility of people within the shopping center: How much rent should be charged to tenants?

When asked about the variables that influence the models used to make the decision on how to distribute commercial spaces, the specialist explained that "… square meters of different commercial developments and their type (clothing store, jewelry store, retail, etc.), both successful and unsuccessful, are usually taken from automated digital data collection mechanisms. This allows us to have a lot of information and evidence of what works best in the design of commercial spaces. "
Finally, it is also possible to incorporate financial information and sociodemographic characteristics of the population that usually visits shopping malls , so that based on this information we can estimate turnover levels by type of business, concludes the senior data analyst.
