Building a Shopping Center on Private or Public Land in Saida
This project is about investing $5,000,000.00 in building a shopping center on a private or public land in Saida. The construction of the building is about two years. Our company will operate this project for ten years starting the day when the mall is entirely finished.
After ten years of operating the mall, the entire building will be transferred to the owners of the land and our company is expected to make a certain profit (as estimated in the income statement on page 4)
To do so, it is very essential to follow the marketing plan of this study and consider all the relevant analysis.
WHY SAIDA ?
Saida is the capital of the south, a highly populated city that can be easily accessed from Ghazieh, nabatieh, Sour and other areas. In addition, the port of Saida will be opened in the next couple of years, this will increase and facilitate all business activities in that region.
WHY A MALL ?
In Saida there are lots of shops on the streets. Therefore, to "go shopping" people should either drive or walk a long distance in order to find what they are looking for.
Building a mall would be a wise solution to the above mentioned problem since it will enable people to go shopping under one big roof and park in one location.
Description of the Mall
Land: 4000 m2
Building on : 2000 m2
The mall will be composed of 9 floors. The ground floor and the first floor are 2000 m2 each and the rest of the building is composed of 8 stories, 800 m2 each.
The Mall will contain
· Shops
· Movie theatres
· Restaurants (one floor will contain around 15 international restaurants)
· One health club
· One supermarket
· Offices
COMPETITION
In Saida, the market is not highly competitive especially for a new business that is unique in its products and services. A shopping center with the above mentioned units will not face any major competition.

Making an investment towards a new project/product/company is hardly a simple process. Numerous factors including costs, benefits, time, and resources need to be taken into account before a decision to pursue a new project should be ventured into. At the end of the day prioritising projects and investing funds into projects that have the most potential towards favourable return on investment should be considered. Investment appraisal should not only be used for projects with a monetary return, it is also pertinent to use the tools where the return may not be easy to quantify such as training or development programs.

Whenever we go out shopping or relaxing at malls, we actually don’t see or recognize any effects of malls as we mostly go there for these two reasons. Malls are an integral part in the lives of America. They are shopping centers that have created a lot of buzz in many writers. This is because we have more malls in America than high schools. Malls have received praises from people like James J. Farrell, Jon Pahl and George Lewis who view malls as not only shopping centers but also as places that provide a reflection of the American culture and serve as centers of pleasure and entertainment. In contrast, William Kowinski and David Gutterson criticize malls for just being an artificial environment that creates disorientation among American shoppers. In my opinion, malls are just magnificent commercial buildings that create a sense of false dreams and imagination.

Goss argues that developers and designers of the built environment, specifically shopping centers and malls, use the power of place and understanding the structural layout of the space to boost consumption of the retail profits. Shopping centers are separated from the downtown area of shopping either by distance and/or design. These establishments emerge for many to be the new heart and location for public and social life. In his article The "Magic of the Mall": An Analysis of Form, Function, and Meaning in the Contemporary Retail Built Environment, Goss also argues that the regulation of the spaces within the mall creates an atmosphere of "community" rather than one that is "public".
The design of the Mall of America is genius because it is four floors with more than 500 stores also the designers where smart by having natural light enter the Mall this to me makes it feel more homie. The mall was also smart on the how people can park they have four ramps which has five floors which means that it will be easier for the customers to access their building. The Mall of America was also smart on putting an amusement park in their sate of the art mall, this is a big because kid will want to go ride on the roller costars and when the kids see Lego City they will beg their portents to buy them some Legos. The Mall was also smart by putting an aquarium in the Mall which was another attraction that gets peoples attraction to come and visit the mall, another way the mall gets people to come to the Mall is the Movie Theater that is on the top floor of the Mall. Another reason why I think that people keep coming back to the Mall of America is because you can get everything you want in one shot without leaving to go to multiply stores, people could really spend a whole day at the Mall of America because they have a food court and they also have a nice sit-down dinning which is nice. The Mall of America also is more than just a shopping mall, this mall offers work out session because the mall is 1.15 miles so people will just walk around the mall for their daily workout. The Mall of America also has church serves

Of course the happiness ended when we went to Riverchase Galleria for food. The mall was gigantic with shops scattered to the sides, pristine with polished white floors, and jam-packed with people. Corridors were sprawled out like branches and food scented the air. The building itself was one-million and five-hundred seventy square feet, two stories tall, and completed with two hundred plus stores. When I
Shopping malls have become meeting places, similar to town halls in the old west. Malls are where people go to explore and experience everything retailers have to offer while indulging in their own personal sport of acquiring different products. The question of what malls bring to society has been questioned for years do they promote rapid consumerism or a life of luxury. Victor Gruen, the inventor of shopping malls, saw these centers as a source of community similar to his homeland in Europe. Most malls represent a safe and controlled nature of human development and leisure. In the following article, I will be discussing the security preventions that shopping malls of today provide. I will also be discussing the enhancements in structures
