Shopping Centre Regeneration: How Parking Can Adapt to Keep Pace
Shopping centre regeneration is turning empty retail into the place a town relies on. The car park has to keep up, and most don't.

We’re proud to highlight our partnership with Frasers Group, a collaboration that’s already delivering impressive results across multiple retail locations, including Almondvale West Retail Park.
Hozah’s delivery at Almondvale has been exceptional. Their digital ecosystem was integrated with zero downtime, providing a noticeably smoother driver experience across the estate. The uplift in parking turnover, over 80%, has exceeded our expectations. We’re delighted with the partnership.
Why the partnership matters
For Frasers Group, managing parking across large retail estates involves balancing the needs of shoppers, tenants, and facility teams, without disrupting operations or customer experience. By choosing Hozah, they opted for a future‑facing, fully digital parking ecosystem designed to deliver:
- Seamless integration: Hozah’s system seamlessly plugged into existing infrastructure with zero downtime, ensuring no disruption during the switchover.
- Improved driver experience: With ticketless entry/exit, automatic payments, and frictionless flow, visitors enjoy a smoother, simpler parking journey.
- Meaningful commercial benefit: The reported 80%+ uplift in parking turnover at Almondvale shows the financial value of better-managed parking.
What Hozah brings to the table
Our offering, rooted in the Hozah Ecosystem, isn’t just about replacing pay machines or barriers. We deliver:
- ANPR-based vehicle detection and automatic AutoPay payments after exit.
- Flexible payment and permit options (from one‑off PayByWeb to recurring permits).
- Real‑time occupancy and usage data for landlords and centre managers.
- Reduced admin overhead and fewer foot‑traffic bottlenecks.
We have seen similar success with other clients: for example, at St Ann Estate, Hozah delivered a fully digital, mixed‑use parking solution that turned a complex, high‑demand car park into a smoothly operating asset, dramatically increasing revenue while simplifying management.
Why Almondvale’s results stand out
The +80% uplift at Almondvale isn’t just a number; it’s a powerful signal that the combination of smart infrastructure and user-friendly parking can significantly transform how shoppers access retail. For Frasers Group, that means:
- A smoother shopper experience, with less friction and easier entry and exit.
- More efficient use of parking spaces.
- Stronger returns for the estate.
- A robust foundation for future growth or expansion across multiple sites.
