What others say about Prime Retail Management

“ING Retail Property Fund Australia acquired the Dress-Smart Portfolio in 2003 because it was – and remains – the dominant player in the New Zealand outlet retail segment. Continued strong trading performance and leasing demand has recently resulted in multi-million dollar expansions of both the Onehunga and Hornby centres.

“Much of Dress-Smart’s ongoing success can be attributed to the professionalism, drive and vision of the Prime Retail Management team. Their innovative management, leasing and development strategies further enhance the trading performance of each centre and in so doing, they consistently produce excellent results for the Fund. It is a measure of ING Real Estate’s confidence in Prime’s skills that has seen us make such a significant investment in terms of capital expenditure to the expansion of Dress Smart.”

“I have had the pleasure of working with Prime Retail and their associated companies for a number of years. Providing a variety of architectural services including design documentation and supervision of both retail and commercial projects, I have found them to be a pro-active and innovative firm to work alongside.

“Prime Retail adopts best business practices: they carry out in-depth feasibility studies; they continuously assess a development and make adjustments when necessary; and they are not afraid of hands on involvement. As a result, Prime Retail is one of a very rare breed – developers who are genuinely committed to the quality of the completed development.”

“From our point of view, Prime Retail has really delivered. We launched our first Sunglass Style kiosk in Hornby just 16 months ago and we’ve now expanded to three stores. This rapid growth is a direct reflection of the success we have enjoyed at Dress-Smart.

“We have been impressed with Prime Retail on a number of levels. Firstly, they take a prudent and long-term view of the Dress-Smart business and make decisions accordingly. This means that tenancies are filled based on ‘best fit’ rather than on an ad hoc basis. And secondly, because they have successfully built and maintained the Dress-Smart brand, shoppers know exactly what to expect - quality brands at significantly discounted prices.

“Perhaps most importantly, we’ve found the Prime Retail team to be genuine, up front people who understand that their success and their retailers’ success is inextricably linked.”

"The Dress-Smart concept has worked exceptionally well for Rodd & Gunn and this is in no small way due to the Prime Retail Management team. They are straight-shooters, totally professional, and work hard to ensure positive outcomes for their clients. What's more they have integrity and that's something we value highly. As a result, our brands are represented in the Onehunga, Tawa and Hornby Dress-Smart centres."
