About Thomas Consultants Inc.
Thomas Consultants Inc. is an international strategic development consultancy based in Vancouver, British Columbia. Since 1979, Thomas Consultants has assisted its clients in both the public and private sectors to transform retail and mixed-use projects into memorable and lasting destinations - places that stir the imagination and generate lasting value for our clients and their communities.
Working in over 45 countries worldwide, our project experience includes market feasibility, development strategy, project positioning and tenant mix planning for mixed-use town centres, downtown revitalization, 'Main Street' retail, mall redevelopment strategies and waterfront master-planned communities.
Our firm's area of expertise include:
- Assessing Market Opportunities;
- Creating "Points of Difference";
- Recognizing the Best in Global Trends;
- Positioning Retail Projects to Respond to Market Dynamics;
- Quantifying Revenues and Risks;
- Defining Optimal Retail Strategy; and
- Developing Merchandising Plans.
As development strategists with a specialty in retail opportunity and positioning, we go well beyond market feasibility, collaborating with our clients and their design teams to best match physical form with market opportunity and constraints. Along with public space, retail is the unifying element in any mixed-use project and must be carefully conceived, thematically, physically, and analytically, to ensure that it becomes the social and functional heart of the project.
