Shoppings devem faturar R$ 110 bilhões em 2012

Maria Mattos — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 21:57:20 +0000

Economia em expansão, inflação controlada e juros em queda animam os empresários do setor; somente neste ano, 43 unidades serão inauguradas.

Os shopping centers brasileiros devem superar em 2012 a marca dos 110 bilhões de reais de faturamento, segundo informações da Associação Brasileira de Lojistas de Shopping (Alshop). A expansão de cerca de 6% da receita será fruto do aumento da comercialização nos pontos-de-venda já existentes e também dos negócios que serão gerados nas dezenas de empreendimentos que serão abertos.

Somente neste ano, 43 estabelecimentos devem ser inaugurados, conforme levantamento da Associação Brasileira de Shopping Centers (Abrasce). A expectativa da Alshop para os próximos dois anos e meio é que 124 novos shoppings sejam construídos.

O diretor de relações institucionais da Alshop, Luís Augusto Ildefonso da Silva, destaca que não só o número de shoppings cresce, mas também seus corredores parecem não esvaziar. São vários os fatores que levam os consumidores brasileiros a buscar este tipo de ambiente para realizar compras, explica Silva. Conforto, praticidade, segurança e diversidade são atrativos não só para os clientes, mas também para os lojistas.

Apesar do crescimento em larga escala dos centros comerciais no Brasil, o mercado doméstico está longe da saturação, garante a associação. Mesmo nas aglomerações urbanas, que abrigam o maior número de empreendimentos do setor, as oportunidades parecem estar esgotadas. “A saturação ainda não chegou aos grandes centros – tanto que ainda há inaugurações a serem feitas nessas localidades e outros estudos de viabilidade estão em andamento”, disse Luís Augusto.

#Iskandar shifting into high gear with basics done

gavin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:11:27 +0000

Just over five years on, Johor’s flagship economic project has attracted RM77.82 billion (S$32.13 billion) worth of investment commitments, of which some 40 per cent is from foreign investors. That’s above the target of RM47 billion it set for the first stage of its 20-year development plan.

By last September, more than RM38 billion or nearly half of the investment commitments had been realised.

Officials at the Iskandar Regional Development Authority (IRDA), which administers the development of Iskandar, say this year will prove to be a ‘tipping point’ for it, with the completion of various projects that will support sustained economic growth in the region.

The authority hopes to attract at least another RM73.3 billion in investments in Iskandar over the next five years. To that end, IRDA is trying to attract more investments from Singapore companies, particularly manufacturing firms. It sees Iskandar as a natural complement to Singapore’s high-value but also high-cost manufacturing sector, offering Singapore firms cheaper labour, land and other resources that they need to produce their products for a regional or even global market.

Indonesian carriers are putting on a show of might at the ongoing Singapore Airshow 2012, and are splashing the cash on a range of new aircraft purchases to expand their domestic and international networks.

Novo presidente do #Secovi cita falta de terreno, defende parceria

Maria Mattos — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:35:15 +0000

No discurso de posse, Claudio Bernardes destacou a escassez de terrenos adequados para construção de projetos suficientes para atender a demanda por imóveis, sobretudo em grandes centros urbanos como São Paulo.

"Precisamos ter espaço urbano adequado para atender a demanda e oferecer moradias compatíveis com a necessidade da população", disse ele, defendendo que haja "vontade política e diálogo com a sociedade e com a iniciativa privada".

Bernardes citou ainda a necessidade de planejamento para que o setor imobiliário cresça de forma sustentável. "Infelizmente não temos a cultura de planejamento a longo prazo, mas temos que mudar isso… Temos que integrar o planejamento das cidades com o planejamento do mercado imobiliário".

Ainda sobre a escassez de espaço para construir moradias, ele defendeu, entre outros aspectos, a revitalização de regiões degradadas -como o centro da capital paulista-, de forma a permitir novos empreendimentos residenciais.

gavin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 01:40:32 +0000

AirAsia has launched daily services between Kuala Lumpur and Semarang, the capital of Central Java, bringing 160 passengers on its maiden flight on February 6.

AirAsia Indonesia president director Dharmadi said: “(Semarang) marks AirAsia’s fourteenth destination (in Indonesia) from Kuala Lumpur.”

The carrier also connects Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, Jogjakarta, Bandung, Denpasar, Solo, Balikpapan, Palembang, Aceh, Perkanbaru, Padang and Makassar.

Dharmadi said the Kuala Lumpur-Semarang route had the potential to galvanise the Malaysian outbound market to Semarang, and added that AirAsia was also looking to target transit traffic from China, South Korea and Japan.
