Case Studies

CASE STUDY 1

Pharmacy saves $126,000 using
comparable data.

A Pharmacy was in the process of renewing their lease with rent to be adjusted to market rates. Disagreeing with the landlord’s assessment of $141,200 p.a. they took the matter to independent determination, where a valuer would set the rent.

The Pharmacy provided the valuer with comparable data sourced using Lighthouse Insights. This supporting information influenced the final rent determination to a reduced $116,000.

• Landlord’s initial offer: $141,200 p.a.
• Final determination: $116,000 p.a.
• Lease term: 5 years
• Total savings:  $126,000 over 5 years

CASE STUDY 2

National retailer saves over $290,000 through informed negotiations.

A prominent national retailer, highly sought after by major landlords, was about to finalise a new lease deal. The shopping centre assured the retailer their offer was the best deal available.

However, using Lighthouse Insights the retailer discovered that recent deals were made in the same centre for significantly less, changing the course of negotiations.

• Landlord’s initial offer: $364,454 p.a.
• Final result: $310,367 p.a.
• Lease term: 5 years
• Total savings:  $290,435 over 5 years

CASE STUDY 3

Empowering a business plan for national expansion.

A Lighthouse user operating 17 locations in South Australia sought to expand into other states.

By combining their own data with insights from Lighthouse, they identified the most suitable shopping centres using several key factors, resulting in a shortlist of target locations.

They were also able to forecast potential sales and access rent data for each centre, empowering them to create a well-informed business plan with greater confidence.

• Identify suitable shopping centres
• Forecast potential sales by location
• Access rent data for selected centres
• Create a confident business plan

CASE STUDY 4

Consolidating critical lease and sales data for time-saving efficiency.

A Lighthouse user with six senior staff needed lease and sales data at different times and for different reasons.

Previously, they used multiple disconnected processes and wasted hours chasing information. By consolidating everything into one easy-to-use solution accessible 24/7, Lighthouse has saved them significant time and effort.

Having sales data, lease documents, shopping centre performance details, and team notes in a single hub means they now save 10 to 15 hours every month, allowing them to focus on more productive areas of the business.

• Centralise all data in one platform
• Ensure 24/7 access for the team
• Reclaim 10–15 hours every month
• Focus on productive areas of the business

CASE STUDY 5

Unlocking market insights for significant savings in time and rent.

A prominent retailer with 95 sites across Australia and two decades in commercial property believed they had a solid network to gauge market rents and incentives.

However, Lighthouse’s data revealed deals occurring outside their usual contacts, supplying vital industry benchmarks they had previously lacked.

By comparing their leases with the broader market, they were more confident in negotiating for better terms.

This not only saved them countless hours chasing information but delivered tangible financial benefits, resulting in $120,000 in rent savings this year—attributed to having the right data on hand during negotiations.

• Access deals beyond usual networks
• Compare leases with real market data
• Discover vital industry benchmarks
• Reduce negotiation time and save on rent

CASE STUDY 6

Confidentiality and independent insights improve negotiations.

A user who was once hesitant to share sensitive data now has peace of mind thanks to Lighthouse’s strict confidentiality.

Its genuine independence ensures intelligence free from hidden agendas, allowing them to make decisions with confidence. They finally feel they’re on a level playing field with the rest of the industry.

They now use Lighthouse’s market data when searching for new sites or negotiating with landlords, achieving deals 5% to 18% better than before. They wouldn’t have joined without its commitment to confidentiality and genuine independence — truly a game changer.

• Data security and confidentiality
• Independent insights
• Confident decision making
• 5% to 18% better deal outcomes
