Reidin.com launches 'RETAILFocus' to address need for information on retail property developments

In addition to the introduction of its fourth property and real estate related product to the market, the company also unveiled a new corporate website concept earlier this month. The change in the interface of the Reidin.com website to become a more navigable portal is in line with its commitment to further extending the scope of the information, which it provides to visitors of the site.

Reidin.com has pioneered the concept of providing extensive and interlinked databases of shopping centre and retailer profiles, Gross Leasable Area (GLA), footfall statistics, price data, news, research, upcoming retail projects, owners, developers, and property manager profiles, all of which are supported by analysis and advanced comparison tools, and a powerful search engine.

By providing hard-to-get data and information on shopping malls from developing economies, coupled with the tools to analyse and make calculated decisions, 'RETAILFocus' can save the resources, time and money of users seeking valuable information.

"Given that shopping centres here have been ingrained as part of almost everybody's lifestyle, acquiring access to a growing database of shopping centres and other similar establishments has been a growing concern among property market players across emerging countries. We have recognised the impact 'RETAILFocus' can make - with its excellent features such as an events database, which can help users keep abreast with important upcoming events and thereby aid them in establishing just the right kind of industry networking activity to venture into. Furthermore, it also offers a comprehensive repository of research reports sourced from top consultancies and research partners, while helping users perform country and city level comparative analysis with through its powerful online tools."

said Ahmet Kayhan, CEO, Reidin.com.

The new corporate website has three additional sections - 'Events', 'Jobs' and 'Corporate Blog', which blend well with the portal's new look and feel. The launch of the new sections, which can be accessed by anyone for free, offers additional functionalities for a superior user/member experience. Further, the simultaneous unveiling of the company's new corporate website and 'RETAILFocus' is aimed at providing more comprehensive, in-depth intelligence on retail property markets across emerging countries.

"In this fast-paced world, the internet provides us with the best opportunity to be in close contact with our target market, especially within a highly dynamic industry such as real estate. Our efforts to enhance our website are in line with our aggressive expansion plans for the region, and our aims to drive awareness on all of our products. We are also being fuelled by our vision in providing a wider scope of intelligence to users, and by continuously expanding our portfolio, we are reinforcing our position as the premier source of real estate data and intelligence of all kinds across the globe," concluded Mehmet Erkek, CIO, Reidin.com.

The launch of 'RETAILFocus' adds a fourth dedicated real estate product to Reidin.com's online information service portfolio, which already includes 'DUBAIFocus' - a comprehensive collection of reports and data on real estate deals and transactions in Dubai gathered through an exclusive partnership with RERA and Dubai Land Department; and 'INDEXFocus' - a tool that enables users to establish house price differentials, conduct property valuations and perform multiple simultaneous market analyses. Its earliest product is REBIS, a one-stop shop information portal, which provides a bigger picture of the real estate industry by covering the micro and macro environment that stimulate the sector dynamics.
