TRADE MART V RETAIL
Unlike retail, trade marts thrive with fewer visitors, maximizing profitability per square foot.

Design Centre, Chelsea HarbourLondon. This is a very basic business model for Carbon Zero City. The Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour encompasses approximately 250,000 square feet, making it the largest interior design retail and trade center in Europe. This business model helped create a design cluster in Chelsea Harbour, where each square foot of showroom space supports 2.5 square feet of office space. It was inspired by the Chicago Merchandise Mart. Chelsea Harbour also hosts Design Week, with the next event in May 2025.
