Abstract

Developers should implement creative strategies in developing retail property product to make it attractive for consumers. One of the strategies is by providing an added value in the form of outdoor space, such as garden and artificial pond as well as experience of eating in an open space. The presence of the added value enriches the experience enjoyed by consumers in retail property complex. This outdoor atmosphere is believed to have an impact on retailer's purchasing decision. In order to understand the phenomenon, we carry out a research to determine whether by the inclusion of outdoor atmosphere, developers can increase the value of retail property. Data were collected using observation and interviews. The collected data is processed using a mix of quantitative and qualitative with sequential explanatory strategy. The main finding in this research is that outdoor atmosphere on a retail area affect retailers preference because retailers and developers acknowledge the importance of atmosphere for the consumers.
