Void Analysis

Discover The Right Tenant For Your Vacancy

Find your next tenant for your open lease when you compare your market to a target area and see which retailers could move in. Also find potential areas for relocation by finding retailers that have opportunities locally.

What Is Void Analysis?

Void Analysis compares the retailers present in a target area against a larger reference market to identify which brands are absent, or "missing," in that area. Landlords use it to find tenants that fit an open lease, and retailers use it to find markets where they have room to expand. REGIS Online runs Void Analysis against a database of over 900 retailers and 1 million merchant locations across 35 categories, generating a report with broker contact information for the retailers identified.

What Is a Retail Void?

A retail void is a retailer or category that appears in a comparison market but not in the target area being studied. That absence is a starting point for investigation, not proof that demand exists. A void may exist because the market genuinely lacks that retailer, or for reasons unrelated to opportunity, such as a retailer's own expansion strategy, site requirements, or the trade area comparison itself. Use Void Analysis results alongside demographics, traffic counts, and trade area data to judge whether a void reflects a real opportunity for a given lease or market.

How To Use Void Analysis

Void Analysis studies the retail landscape of a target area and identifies which retailers are missing in that area.

Use Retail Void Analysis to Explore Expansion Markets

Void Analysis works both directions. Landlords use it to find a tenant for an open lease, and retailers use it to find markets where they don't yet have a presence. Once a void surfaces a market worth investigating, confirm the opportunity with trade area, demographic, and traffic data before committing to a site.

FAQ

What is Void Analysis used for?

Void Analysis is used to find tenants for an open lease and to identify markets where a retailer doesn't yet have a presence. It compares a target area against a larger market to surface which retailers are missing.

Does a retail void mean there's guaranteed demand?

No. A void shows that a retailer is absent from your target area compared to a larger market, but absence alone doesn't prove demand exists. Confirm a void with demographic, trade area, and traffic data before treating it as a real opportunity.

How many retailers are included in Void Analysis?

REGIS Online's merchant database includes over 900 retailers across 35 categories, totaling more than one million locations nationwide.

Can Void Analysis help find compatible co-tenants?

Yes. Pair Void Analysis results with Retail Fusion to see how compatible a potential tenant is with your center's current co-tenants.

Is there a limit to how many Void Analysis reports I can run?

No. Void Analysis reports are unlimited with a REGIS Online subscription, so you can study as many locations as you need.
