A major sporting event is not automatic evidence of property demand in another location. Commercial operators should investigate the connection rather than assume it.
Define the proposed effect
Identify the customers, dates and activities expected to change. Distinguish bookings or commitments already demonstrated from a speculative increase in interest.
Test the premises independently
Check permitted activity, layout, access, fit-out and ordinary operating costs. Consider a scenario where the event produces little additional business. A property should have a workable purpose beyond a single promotional narrative.
