About the Shopping Mall Project
What Is a Shopping Mall Feasibility Study?
A shopping mall feasibility study is an analysis conducted before developing a mall project to understand whether the project has sufficient market demand, financial viability and operational feasibility. It helps investors understand the opportunities, challenges and expected performance of the proposed development.
Core activities
Site development, civil construction, interior fit-outs for tenants, and shared infrastructure such as elevators, escalators, HVAC, fire safety, and parking. Once operational, the mall runs on a leasing or revenue-sharing model with occupying brands.
What Does This Feasibility Report Sample Cover?
This sample shows how the report evaluates a shopping mall project across two broad areas.
- Location — connectivity, footfall potential, catchment density
- Tenant planning — anchor stores, retail mix, leasing terms
- Means of finance — funding sources and structure
- Infrastructure — parking, power backup, fire safety, common areas
- Project cost — land, construction, interiors, fit-outs
- Rental income — revenue assumptions from tenant mix
- Loan repayment capacity — debt-servicing and viability

Is Building a Shopping Mall a Profitable Investment?
The feasibility report evaluates the shopping mall’s financial standing by assessing rental and revenue assumptions based on the planned tenant mix, along with operating expenses such as maintenance, staffing, and utilities. It works out the working capital requirement, profit & loss projections, and a cash flow statement covering the operating period.
The report also identifies the break-even point and evaluates the project’s debt-servicing and repayment capacity against the proposed loan terms, arriving at an overall view of financial viability.
Profitability of a shopping mall depends on location, tenant occupancy, rental rates, customer footfall, operating expenses, financing structure and market conditions. A feasibility study helps investors evaluate these factors before committing significant capital
