Measure what truly creates value.
The AEKPI Index measures how businesses contribute to the attractiveness, identity and energy of a place. The score (1–10) reflects a concept’s ability to attract visitors, strengthen the surrounding ecosystem and elevate the overall perception of an area.
Our Activation Value model measures the value tenants create through visibility, engagement and activity. It quantifies the place-building energy they contribute beyond traditional leasing metrics.
The model compares organic activity with the cost of generating similar attention through marketing and activation. The result is smarter leasing decisions, stronger tenant mixes and more valuable destinations.
What the AEKPI Index levels mean.
10 – Global Destination
A once-in-a-generation concept. A business that can operate anywhere — even in isolation — and still attract visitors from across the world. It defines the place rather than being defined by it. A true landmark that reshapes entire districts.
9 – Iconic Magnet
A once-in-a-generation concept. A business that can operate anywhere — even in isolation — and still attract visitors from across the world. It defines the place rather than being defined by it. A true landmark that reshapes entire districts.
8 – Recognized Anchor
A well-established and attractive operator that consistently drives traffic. Other businesses actively seek to locate nearby. Creates measurable placemaking effects and positive rental impact.
7 – Strong Traffic Driver
A popular and relevant concept that attracts steady footfall and contributes clearly to area activation. Strengthens the ecosystem and supports neighboring tenants.
6 – Solid Contributor
A stable and appreciated business that performs well within the right context. Contributes positively to activity levels but depends partly on surrounding flow.
5 – Functional Presence
A reliable tenant that fulfills its role but generates limited external pull. Primarily serves existing traffic rather than creating new demand.
4 – Context Dependent
Works mainly because of the location rather than enhancing it. Limited brand strength and modest activation effect.
3 – Low Activation Impact
Generates minimal engagement or external traffic. Has little measurable influence on surrounding businesses or area attractiveness.
2 – Passive Occupier
Occupies space without contributing to placemaking, traffic generation, or brand value for the property.
1 – Value Neutral / Negative Impact
A concept that neither attracts visitors nor supports surrounding businesses — and may in some cases weaken the overall perception of the location.
