Two universes, one field-built database

Every estimate is built from primary field data upward. We aggregate from the ground, never the other way around. Real estate runs on the same field data: assets and lease rates are profiled and tied back to the demand counted around them.

What we do, and what you get

Every practice runs on one dataset: stores, brands and property counted on the ground across the GCC since 2010. Seven practices, one at a time.

Our advisory arm. Everything else sits inside it.

Built on first-hand field data: the outlets, brands and property we count ourselves, never a desk estimate.

You getA written recommendation

Area analysis narrows the map. Site analysis ranks the addresses on it.

We start from the outlets already counted around each candidate, add footfall and access from the field, and score every address the same way so the shortlist can be defended in the room.

You getA ranked site shortlist

Which tenants a scheme is missing, and which ones to sign.

The units are read against the outlets counted around the asset, so every gap in the mix is a gap in the market, not a guess.

You getA tenant mix plan

Market share evidence built for the regulator reviewing a merger.

Buyer, target and combined share, added from the outlets up, in the form the review expects and with the field data behind every figure.

You getA regulator filing

We write the brief so bids come back comparable, then help you read them.

Terms of reference first, then the request for proposal, then a scoring sheet every bidder saw before they priced.

You getA TOR and RFP set

Mismatched Arabic and English records become one clean list.

Normalise, match, merge, key. Every alias is kept and every entity gets one record, so two lists that never agreed can be joined.

You getA cleaned dataset

Our team sits inside yours, from broker coordination to lease signing.

Brokers briefed, shortlist walked, terms negotiated, lease signed, with the field data on the table at each step.

Counted by sector

Four lenses on one field-built register. Each lens counts the same ground a different way.

How we count
Foodservice & F&B

Cafés, quick service and restaurants, one outlet at a time, with the operator behind each brand.

Retail & FMCG

Malls, co-operatives and street retail, mapped door by door and refreshed as they change.

Hospitality & Hotels

Hotels and serviced units, their keys and operators, and the demand counted around them.

Real Estate & Development

Assets, tenants and lease-rate benchmarks, tied to the stores that trade in them.

Case files, not name-drops

Anonymized by policy. Who they are stays confidential; what we counted for them doesn't.

All case files
Saudi Arabia · file 1Retail site evaluation across the Riyadh Metro network

An international convenience-retail operator engaged Global Markets to evaluate a bundle of candidate retail locations across the Riyadh Metro network ahead of a competitive bid.
