Frequently Asked Questions
What is the site selection process?
The site selection process decides which piece of real estate is the best investment for a new location. It involves analyzing quantitative, qualitative, and financial factors. Many organizations use a real estate committee review process to evaluate the factors and make a final investment decision.
What are the factors to consider in site selection?
Consider trade area factors such as concentrations of both actual and potential customers, competitive presence, friendly cotenant presence, area draw, and more. Additionally, consider the characteristics of the real estate itself, including condition, visibility, and ease of ingress/egress. Finally, consider financial factors such as the projected performance of the site relative to leasing costs.
What is the site selection analysis in GIS?
GIS or mapping tools can support site selection analysis by layering important trade area factors on a map. Viewing the data in this way can visually tell the story of a site and sometimes make it easier to understand why a site is or is not a good investment.
Why is strategic site selection analysis important?
A brick-and-mortar location is one of the most important - and expensive - investments that a company makes. Site selection needs to be approached strategically to reduce the risk of opening poor performing locations and increase the chances of opening home run locations.
