Defining the design of a shopping center, determining the mix of store types and the optimal size of stores to maximize the benefits of commercial areas, are objectives that can be achieved through the proper analysis of large volumes of data.
The volumes of data being generated in the digital environment every second enables business leaders to make well-informed decisions that are based on the analysis of empirical evidence.
In the municipality of Santa Lucia Cotzumalguapa, Guatemala, the Íntegro business group is building a new shopping center that will have a profitable area of 12,600 square meters.

Designing or adapting properties to be of mixed use, offering more entertainment options and mixing in an adequate way the type of tenants to whom the premises will be rented, are strategies that could give a new boost to shopping centers.
