## National retailers as anchor infrastructure

Co-location treats [[national-tenants|national retailers]] as permanent civic infrastructure rather than optional amenities. A warehouse club or home-improvement superstore generates destination trips from the regional population. A professional centre occupying the same catchment area captures daily foot traffic that it could not produce independently.

Co-location targets [[about-regional-markets-system|regional markets]] — suburban settlements 15 to 80 kilometres from a major metropolitan core — rather than central business districts in major metro areas. Regional markets exhibit the retail investment patterns and underserved professional real estate demand that co-location requires. Central business districts in major metros face different competitive dynamics: legacy office oversupply, declining anchor retail, and transit-dependent occupiers rather than the drive-based catchment that powers co-location deployments.

*Editorial note (2026-07-10): this section previously described regional markets as

## Relationship to the direct-hold solution

Co-location is the site-selection framework; the [[about-development-classes|direct-hold solution type]] determines the physical form the professional centre takes. A Professional Centre co-location deployment is a multi-storey office building optimized for [[mix-of-use|mix-of-use tenancy]]. The co-location criterion establishes where to build; the standardized [[fixed-floor-plates|fixed floor plate]] and building systems establish what to build.
