CONTENTS
Swedish Shopping Centre Directory (SSCD) contains information about 373 Swedish shopping centres and retail parks. Planned shopping centre projects are also listed in SSCD in order to account for future retail establishments. Shopping centres listed must achieve the following criteria’s in order to be listed as shopping centres:
• at least 5,000 sqm retail GLA (gross leasable area),
• at least 5 retail tenants,
• fulfill the definition of a shopping centre set by the Urban Land Institute Washington DC/USA. Deviations from this definition have been made, primarily with regard to retail parks. In city centres, only well defined properties have been regarded as shopping centres.
Some shopping centres may not measure up to the definition above because of e.g. too few tenants during a major refurbishment. These shopping centres are listed as "Non SC/RP”.

With a SSCD license, customers can find information about the following topics for each shopping centre in the data base*:

SSCD always aspire to provide information about key figures like retail sales and GLA, either through estimations or information gathered.
