Dutch term

baanwinkel / retailpark

Dutch to English Bus/Financial Real Estate Real Estate
I am translating a real estate document, which refers to different types of properties (vastgoed), among them a "baanwinkel" and a "retailpark".

Capital can provide me with the English translation for both turns and an explanation of the difference.

TIA

Discussion

First impulse My first impulse was to translate it as "shopping centre" and "retail park", but what is the difference between those two terms?

shop on an approach road / shopping centre close to a motor way

een baanwinkel (Vlaams Nederlands) is een winkel aan een belangrijke toegangsweg tot een stad, een retail park is een groot winkelcentrum vlak bij een snelweg.

quote:
...Daardoor wordt een beeldbepalend gebouw, dat al jaren leeg stond, opnieuw zinvol gebruikt. Er is ruimte voor vijf winkels met een grote verkoopsoppervlakte: een meubelzaak, een fabriekswinkel, een winkel van huishoudtoestellen... Allemaal winkels die veel verkeer aantrekken en die zich anders als baanwinkel zouden vestigen langs invalswegen. In het centrum van Eeklo wordt eveneens gewerkt aan een alternatief voor baanwinkels. De vroegere Kruger-brouwerij vlakbij het station wordt voor het grootste deel afgebroken en omgevormd tot zone voor warenhuizen en grotere handelszaken. Ook hier wordt een leegstaand complex in de stad opnieuw gebruikt in plaats van nieuwe ruimte voor baanwinkels aan te snijden....

agree J. Leo (X) : I would also use 'mall' for retailpark

I was thinking about that too, but I'm afraid "mall" is typically AE. Thanks again, Jim
neutral Chris Hopley : 'Shopping centre close to a motor way' (sic) is a nice definition, but not a nice translation. 'Retail park' is perfectly good (UK/IE/ZA/AU) English IMO.

thanks, Chris
neutral writeaway : not just approach roads, they can be on any major road. all roads lead to somewhere.

baanwinkel would be a shop located along a major road and a retailpark sounds like a 'site' you

in to - like a shopping centre with individual retail stores.

a 'down-home' explanation: the shops on the Boomsesteenweg would be baanwinkels, IMO.

RetailPark seems to slip in with English too:
is described as a shopping area-sounds like a shopping mall, in the US sense with loads of individual shops on a very large designated area, not on individual streets and not under one roof.

also:
a baanwinkel would be like those on the Boomsesteenweg. they are often in a series of shops along the highway, but they are not altogether on one large designated site, just in a row of any number of them along a major or heavily travelled road.
the RetailPark sounds like the equivalent of an US urban shopping mall, not with stores under one roof but all stores located on a designated site.

retail park (UK), strip mall (US)

As for 'baanwinkel', I'm with writeaway. As for 'retailpark', that's simply 'retail park' in UK English. If I remember correctly, it's called a 'strip mall' in the US.

-> "Moffett Retail Park shopping center brings you a breakthrough in convenience shopping. Although a cluster of retail stores, it is not a shopping center or mall as we know it, it is a retail park."
http://www.moffett.co.za/

-> "The retail park features the following outlets...

Carpet Right
JJB Sports
Magnet
Atlantic Homecare..."
http://www.liffeyvalley.ie/wh_rp.htm

-> "The company owns a western portion of the strip mall along U.S. 41 East and east of the county courthouse. The property includes the former Kmart space, soon to become a super-sized Beall's Department Store."
