Vacant Retail Sites now on our platform!

For years, the RetailSonar platform has empowered our clients to fine-tune their sales networks and make informed decisions about expansion and relocation. Now, we're thrilled to take this one step further!

Leveraging open data and our strong connections with retail real estate partners, we’ve created a list of over 10 000 vacant retail sites in Belgium and the Netherlands. Each site shows location-specific and environmental characteristics to help spark ideas for your next strategic move. These listings focus on optimal parameters, including floorspace, local footfall, and car passage, giving you the perfect starting point for exploration.

The list of vacant locations can be found here and will be updated every 6 months.

What’s more, users can filter and test these locations in bulk with our new ‘Optimize module’. In just one click, real estate managers can obtain detailed turnover forecasts and sales impact predictions across a set of tested locations. 

For now, this new functionality is available in Belgium and the Netherlands.Early next year, we’re expanding this feature to France, and Germany, positioning RetailSonar as a key marketplace connector for our 125+ large retail clients and property owners.
