4. POLICIES AND PROCEDURES BRIEF
4.1. 1.1 Process
4.1.1. This document describes the process of the services of the Retail Design and Delivery Department reporting to the head of the SMDBU Majid Al Futtaim Properties, Shopping Malls Business Unit.
4.2. 1.2 Department Role
4.2.1. The Retail Design and Delivery (RDD’s) role is: “To drive rental income by delivering all its leasable retail on or before programme and to specifications outlined in the Design Criteria”. We highlight here that we RDD represent the ‘Landlord’ as property owner and, what it represents. As the Landlord, the interest is associated with but not limited to the Landlord’s protection of income or all associated financials; protection of all property whether it be the physical property, intellectual property in process and documents; as well as protection of any element in programme that may impact the timely delivery of any product it is delivering.
4.3. 1.3 Reporting Structure
4.3.1. The structure is such that the main Head Office in Dubai sets the benchmarks for the department objectives and standards. The reporting Teams geographically located in Oman, Lebanon, Bahrain, KSA, and Egypt report into the Head Office Team/s in Dubai.
4.4. 1.4 Services Coverage
4.4.1. Currently the coverage of the portfolio in the United Arab Emirates includes the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah, the cities or suburbs of Muscat, Sur and Sohar in Oman, Manama in Bahrain, Beirut in Lebanon, Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
4.5. 2.0 The Property Cycle
4.5.1. 2.1 Pre-Development
4.5.1.1. This phase in this cycle involves RDD participation with the Development Manager or Director in the RDD’s establishment of the agreed parameters of a Mall Development between the Landlord and Lessee or Tenant / Retailer so that the eventual delivery of the tenancies within the department role is met with success.
4.5.2. 2.2 Development
4.5.2.1. This phase describes the process when the actual development of the new property or project is in full swing. It is in the construction period where a team of RDD employees and possibly RDD seconded consultants are on site in the real process in assessing and delivering the tenancies up to opening day and a time after that. This might take up to 18 months as a process. During this period, the Development Manager or Director takes the lead on the project.
4.5.3. 2.3 Asset Management
4.5.3.1. Once the new property is open and trading to the public, this phase is on-going. The Development and larger Project team hand over the new building to the Asset and Property Management team. This is where they manage the new asset into stability or equilibrium in its market. RDD is involved in this phase as responsibilities are taken on by the new Property Management team. As this is on-going, the RDD process leads into the next lease renewal of tenancies. The typical period for a lease is from 3 to 5-year terms, with exception to STR and STL leases. It is at these ‘spikes’ where RDD is required to service the Property Management team in the role.
4.5.4. 2.4 Re-development
4.5.4.1. As markets mature and shopping habits increase, the business will see opportunities for the properties to grow and expand with additional retail space or Gross Leasable Area (GLA). This is where an assigned Development Manager or Director will be assigned to manage the process. Our most Re-developed properties are City Centre Deira, City Centre Sharjah, City Centre Muscat, City Centre Maadi, and City Centre Alexandria, where this process has taken place several times on each of these assets. Again, RDD are involved with the process this time with more stakeholders on the Development side as well as the Property Management side whilst the property is in operation.

4.8. 3.3 External Stakeholders
4.8.1. External Stakeholders here may be divided into two forms; Customer based, and Service based. This is outlined below. ➢ Customer Based Stakeholders o Shoppers – those who purchase goods in the retail outlets in our properties. In different markets, out assets have primary and secondary geographical trade areas (PTAs and STAs) surrounding the property. We also have a strong tourist market who shop in our assets. We have access to this market information which assists us in strategic campaigns in attracting those target market groups. o Retailers / Tenants – those who rent the tenancies in our properties. Retailers may pay the landlord a Base Rent and an additional rent related to the tenancy income by sales. This partial Landlord income is named Turnover Rent. In addition, there are other fees and charges in the agreement. Some of our very own Majid Al Futtaim retailers include Carrefour / (Majid Al Futtaim Retail), Vox Cinemas, Magic Planet, Ski Dubai, Ski Egypt, (Majid Al Futtaim Leisure & Entertainment and (Majid Al Futtaim fashion.) o Tenant Authorised Representatives/s (TAR) – those who have been delegated authority by the tenant to be represented in the RDD design and delivery process through the Tenant Portal. They may be a personemployed by the Tenant / Retailer. They may be a Contractor directly. It is important to note that as the Landlord, our legally bound relationship is with the Tenant through the Lease agreement. If any element of the lease is being impacted upon, we as RDD need to manage the Tenant through this so that they are aware of the risk or their TAR is faced with. We are tasked with this responsibility. o Tenant Designers – those who work through the design phase with our Retail Design Managers. As a priority, we suggest that the RDMs work with the tenant designers mainly to be able to influence the design process and obtain the optimal outcome in respect to adhering to the Design Criteria. Tenant Designers may be employed directly by the Tenant / Retailer. He or she could be a specialised Retail Designer. The Tenant Designer may also be the contractor’s Designer. In summary, it is critical that you need to be aware of these dynamics in the design journey so that you can achieve the optimal outcome. Additionally, you need to do a quick study in understanding whether this designer is capable or not in achieving the desired Design Criteria outcome. o Tenant Consultants – a percentage of retailers / tenants employ third party consultants for example, MEP Consultants, Quantity Surveyor, Structural and Glazing Engineers, lighting Designers. o Tenant Contractors – similarly, the tenant contractors work through the delivery phase in the RDD process. They build the fit out. They need to follow the Landlord process. They need to be assessed under our criteria. They need to have the ability. In some cases, Retailers / Tenants have this capability in house. o Tenant MEP Contractor – is usually employed by the Tenant contractor, in house or as a separate contractor to create the MEP drawings and execute the MEP scope on site. Here, we need to be aware of the dynamics behind programme in receiving these submissions and those that need to be coordinated with the Architectural drawing Package. o Tenant Contractor Sub-contractors and Tenant Sub-contractors – are employed directly by the tenant or contractor for elements in the construction of the fit out. o Tenant Visual Merchandisers and Display – employed as contractors or in house to arrange the merchandise in the store and the display in the shop front window. o Tenant Staff – Sales Staff on the floor / or visiting Managers to the store in day to day management and operations. ➢ Service Based Stakeholders on behalf of the Landlord The following consultant services are brought for the purpose of a Development or Re-development in existing Assets. o Design Architect Consultant – is tasked to provide the full architectural design of the building, driven by the Development Manager or Director. From an RDD perspective, it is important to understand the zones, precincts, heights of tenancies in the project. These consultants in most cases are internationally acclaimed retail specialist Architects. o Architect of Record Consultant – documents the vision of the Design Architect, locally where the project is based. On a project, RDD predominantly liaises with this consultant on tenancy LOD provision and base build provisions that relate or impact the LODs or tenancies. o Quantity Surveyor / Cost Consultant (QS) – Manages the estimates and actual costs on the project. Related to RDD, the QS estimates the Tenancy Variation Requests from the tenants through the TDM and tenant / TAR requests on a Project. o MEP Consultant – as per law in most countries is managed by the Architect of Record. The tenancy MEP LODs are provided by this consultant. The MEP LOD must coincide with the Development and leasing agreed Condition of Premises (COPS). Additionally, the MEP Consultant must assess the tenant MEP drawings and provide feedback until the drawings are manufactured to and acceptable standard on behalf of the Landlord. The final piece is for the MEP consultant to approve the commissioning of the tenant services to the base build provisions. These elements include chilled water, water, power, sewer, exhaust, and Fire and Life safety smart system connections to the building.
