Company overview

Sanba Square is located in Zhongshan District, Dalian, Liaoning Province, named in commemoration of International Women's Day on March 8th each year. As one of Dalian's key commercial landmarks, the square holds significant cultural and historical value. As a modern commercial complex, Sanba Square offers a diverse range of retail formats and is committed to delivering high-quality shopping, entertainment, and leisure experiences to consumers. In response to evolving market demands, Sanba Square continuously adjusts its business model to maintain competitiveness within Dalian's commercial real estate sector. To better meet market leasing demands, Sanba Square has designed precise rental and business conditions to attract top-tier merchants and improve overall operational efficiency.

Research background

As competition in Dalian's commercial complex market intensifies, Sanba Square faces challenges related to merchant rent, leasing strategies, and the layout of different business formats. To adapt to market changes and maintain competitiveness, Sanba Square has decided to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the current rental conditions and leasing policies across its commercial complexes, gaining a deeper understanding of market trends and merchant needs. In November 2019, Sanba Square commissioned CEIDEA Research to carry out market research, aiming to provide precise data support for optimizing rental rate adjustments and business entry conditions across different floors, floor areas, and business formats, thereby enhancing the square's market appeal and leasing efficiency.

Research scope

To achieve these objectives, CEIDEA Research employed a combination of macro-level analysis, on-site visits, and telephone surveys. First, macro-level analysis examined the overall rental levels, operational models, and changing demand patterns in Dalian's commercial real estate market, providing a comprehensive understanding of the current market environment. Second, through on-site visits to other commercial complexes in Dalian, CEIDEA Research collected insights on peer competitors' rental pricing, merchant entry requirements, operational performance, and customer demand, offering relevant references for Sanba Square. Finally, telephone interviews were conducted to gather rental needs and expectations from both local and out-of-town merchants, with particular attention to factors influencing merchant selection, such as rental rates, floor level, business type, and supporting facilities. The study will focus on leasing rent across different floors, floor areas, and business formats at Sanba Square. By analyzing market demand, competitive dynamics, and merchant feedback, CEIDEA Research will propose precise rental rate designs and recommendations for optimizing business entry conditions, ensuring that Sanba Square can attract more high-quality merchants and improve overall operational performance in future leasing operations.

Expected outcomes

Through this research, Sanba Square aims to gain an in-depth analysis of its current rental conditions, merchant entry requirements, and future market trends. The research report will provide precise recommendations for rental pricing and business entry conditions across different floors, floor areas, and business formats, helping the square optimize its rental structure and refine its leasing strategy to enhance market appeal. Specifically, the study will offer decision-making support in areas such as rental pricing, merchant location selection, floor layout, and business conditions, enabling Sanba Square to maintain a competitive edge in a fiercely contested market. The findings will ensure that Sanba Square continues to attract high-quality merchants in the coming years, thereby enhancing its overall commercial value and market influence.
