Abstract | Location is definitely one of the determining factors rooted in the
minds of developers in the first step of developing a shopping centre.
Nevertheless, there are lots of others factors which affect the success of
a shopping centre. Even a shopping centre stands in a prime location, it
is difficult to sustain its competitiveness without the effort of other
factors. An effective strategy of mall positioning helps a shopping
centre to sustain the competitiveness, especially in Hong Kong, with
cutthroat competition among the shopping centres. Newly built
shopping centres continue to appear which threatened the aged
shopping centres directly. Shopping centres must find an effective
method to face the challenging environment as well as to sustain its
edge, especially the district shopping centres. As the aged shopping
centres face the problem of deteriorating building conditions and
inadequate entertainment facilities, an effective strategy of mall
positioning helps the aged shopping centres to improve their
competitiveness in the community.

positioning of the selected shopping centres, namely D・Park, Tsuen
Wan Plaza and OP Mall. In order to find out the effective strategy of

as they affect the income of a shopping centre directly. To understand
their preference, the survey conducted is based on five significant
factors of effective strategy mall positioning, which consist of accessibility, design and shopping environment, marketing strategy,
property and facility management services and leasing strategy.
The second part of this research paper is investigating leasing
strategy is the most important factors among these five significant
factors of effective strategy mall positioning. Three selected shopping
centres as a case study to examine the effective strategy mall
positioning based on the these five significant factors.

Kong such as changing the trade mix of the shopping centre by
following the trend and improving the shopping environment to create
