Our LifeCentral Strategy
Our LifeCentral strategy is about transforming shopping centers into Full Service Centers. Centers that contribute to a better everyday life for visitors and deliver better business for tenants.
By offering visitors a one-stop location for groceries, shopping, food & beverage, leisure, relaxation, sports, health, work and other daily needs – we create centers that are more relevant in people's everyday life and therefore attract more visitors, more often. By investing sustainably and responding to the needs of local communities, we enrich people's everyday life, support thriving neighborhoods, and care for the environment.
As a result, Wereldhave Full Service Centers are highly attractive commercial locations for partners such as retailers, F&B operators, fitness, healthcare, and leisure providers. Our personal and customer centric approach for catering to visitors and business partners ultimately drives stronger returns for investors.

Our LifeCentral approach for value creation
- Portfolio transformation
We own and operate centers in regional cities across the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg that have the potential to be transformed into Full Service Centers. - Designing the optimal tenant mix
We analyze all our assets to create long-term Full Service Center blueprints. These blueprints bring together opportunities for complementary functions, retail, services, health, leisure, work. All tailored to the context of the local catchment area. Our FSC blueprints are reviewed and if needed updated, annually, to proactively respond to changes in the catchment area and people’s behavior. - Active management & services
Our dedicated in-house and on-site teams ensure professional center management, implement smart services, strong community relations and with our customer focus, we keep looking to drive value. - Outcome measurement & continuous improvement
We track key metrics like footfall, tenant sales, customer feedback and more to continuously optimize the Full Service Center for customers and business partners.
