EPICENTRES

Landlords Turn Your Empty Commercial Properties Into Remarkable Destinations

Reduce Costs | Make an Impact | Unlock New Revenue

Creating Remarkable Destinations

If you are a commercial landlord or council struggling to fill empty units, you will know that every month your space sits empty, you’re losing money by paying thousands in business rates and footfall is diminishing. You’re missing multiple opportunities and the location continues to lose its appeal.

It’s time to transform those spaces into EpiCentres, which are innovation spaces where creatives, technologists and communities collaborate and innovate. They drive footfall, community engagement and long-term value.  

‘The High Street Isn’t Dying, it Just Needs a New Heartbeat.’

The Experience

Retail is not Dying, It’s Evolving

The shift in consumer behaviour, homogony and a lack of creative solutions has left many high streets struggling. Extra bunting, free parking and promotions haven’t bought the public back. Retail cannot compete with online prices however, it can deliver what e-commerce can’t, such as experiential, immersive and memorable experiences. Luckily, we’ve been creating remarkable experiences for years.

We believe, ‘If you create, you don’t need to compete.’

The Experience Economy is projected to be worth £9 trillion by 2028 and the UK’s Creative Industries generate £11.5 million per hour.

Creatives make the best experiences and that engage authentically with the public and having a space that enables that connection, ensures a new model of real estate activation. Be part of the transformation, don’t get left behind.

quality time people spend, not how much money they spend’

Be part of the transformation, don’t get left behind. 

After assessing your property, location and local demographics, we help you create, or create a bespoke roadmap for you to acheive success. It is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach. 

We are tapping into the experience economy. Creatives make amazing experiences using the arts and culture, this always sparks growth. Our aim is not to use culture to ‘Artwash’ an area before gentrification, but to remain authentic. With this information and creative approach alone, you’re already steps ahead. 

Why wait? Your space could become the anchor store of a future-proofed High Street. The time to act is now.
