Specialty leasing FAQs

Specialty leasing refers to short-term retail space in malls, shopping centers, and other retail centers. It includes flexible options like RMUs (Retail Merchandising Units), retail carts, booth rentals, kiosk spaces, and pop-up shops. These options allow businesses to test new concepts while adding variety to the consumer experience.

Rates for renting carts, kiosks, or pop-up shops vary based on factors such as property, location, time of year, and lease length. To learn more about pricing and find the specialty leasing option that best suits your needs, we recommend speaking with a local GGP business development representative.

In addition to rent, you are responsible for providing your merchandise and paying your employees. You will also handle display props, acquire insurance, and may incur credit card fees. For some temporary inline store and kiosk spaces, you will be responsible for utilities.

Specialty retail lease terms can range from a day to several years. Your local GGP business development representative can help determine the best option for your business, and our leasing resources provide valuable information on starting or expanding your business.

RMUs (Retail Merchandising Units) are available at most of our retail properties, and pop-up fixtures can be found at select locations across our portfolio. Most of our temporary inline stores are turnkey. For kiosks, there may be an opportunity to take over a previous kiosk unit versus building one from scratch.

Once terms are agreed upon, you can start your lease quickly — some retailers can open within a week of finalizing the agreement. One of our business development representatives can walk you through the options available.
