​

Up to five of the most prominent anchors were chosen (based on square footage) for inclusion in the shopping centres database. In the rare occasion, where a shopping centre had more than five anchors and square footage numbers were not available, inclusion was two tiered. The first inclusion tier is based on average square footage of anchor names; the second inclusion tier is based on the average square footage of anchor descriptions. The anchors included in the database are based on lists provided by shopping centre management. A zero value for gross leasable area, stores, and parking indicates that the information is unavailable.

​

Retail centres that have a gross leasable area of 30,000 sq. ft. or greater are considered traditional shopping centres whereas those having a gross leasable area less than 30,000 sq. ft. are considered non-traditional.
