Chris Dibble: JLL NZ Research and Strategist Consultancy head on the demand for retail space
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Thursdays

Demand's strong for bricks and mortar retail, despite the growth of online shopping. JLL NZ's new report estimates almost 255-thousand square metres of new retail space is needed over the next five years to keep up with our growing population. It also finds customers prefer in-store shopping over e-commerce. Research and Strategic Consultancy head Chris Dibble told Mike Hosking a significant amount of the development is likely to happen in Auckland, as the city has about 13% of the country’s retail supply.
