Although not surprised New York retail is a premium,
retail rents around the world were a bit different
than most people might expect.
See what you think...

1. New York
2. Hong Kong
3. Sydney
4. London
5. Zurich
6. Tokyo
7. Paris
8. Brisbane
9. Moscow
10. Melbourne
Living in Australia at the moment, I'm none-too-proud
that THREE of 10 the most expensive cities are in OZ!
Yet another reason online shopping is sweeping the nation. Although you might successfully surmise
some of the cities on the list, I wonder
how many would get the order correct.
Here are the next 10.
11. Guangzhou
12. Los Angeles
13. Milan
14. Munich
15. Chicago
16. Singapore
17. Rome
18. Beijing
19. Frankfurt
20. Shanghai

Three cities in China mixing it up with Milan & Rome—
and Los Angeles rent cheaper than Moscow?
It's an ever-changing world out there.

I thought Tokyo would be higher up the list, but I'm not surprised Australia is up there. Every time I go back home for a visit I'm horrified at how much things are in Australia now. It says a lot that I can buy groceries cheaper in London than I can in Adelaide! And clothes are so expensive at home too. When did Cotton On tshirts start pushing $AUD40? Madness.
ReplyDeleteI live in London and yep, EVERYTHING here is super expensive :( I'm surprised Sydney's retail rent is more expensive than London though!

Wow - makes you think twice about shopping in certain areas - the prices must be really jacked up to cover the overhead!

Thank you for all of your interesting comments...this really brought up some fascinating issues.
ReplyDelete@Kristy, yes it's a rarity I buy within AU, isn't that sad? But when I can get 4 tees inc ship for 1 Myer te, well....I'm going for the savings. We are so expensive here!
@Vanessa: It is surprising to be more expensive than London, doesn't seem logical but things here are ridiculous in price! It's no wonder so many Aussies are shopping online!
@Francesca: Do not tell me you hate Rome?! Why oh why???!! Altho I'm with you on LA, I miss it there terribly! : (
@ Marina: Thank you for your comment and your unbelievable support!
