Cover Story

Post-pandemic Retail

The new, close relationship with customers. These are the strategies that retailers and operators apply to prepare for life after the crisis.

Moving the Retail Industry Forward

“It will be important for retailers – particularly smaller retailers that do not have their own online platforms – to be connected to a larger, joint partnership-oriented platform and to utilize their own stores as warehouses as well to make deliveries to buyers from the stores.”

Sufficient Liquidity and Proximity to Customers

Immofinanz succeeded in its effort to swiftly react to the Covid-19 crisis. Gerald Grüll, Head of Retail, explains why and how that happened in an interview with ACROSS.

What Does “The New Normal” Really Mean for Retail Real Estate?

“Many of the key trends that were driving our business before Covid-19, such as the digitalization of retail, sustainability, urbanization, community engagement, and social trends are here to stay.”

#placemaking

The industry’s magic word that is supposed to upgrade locations and make them future-proof.

The Stone Age is over

“Placemaking is key – and more challenging than it seems.”

Why making is so important for place

“We should not be haunted by digitalization and rather than think hard what makes our projects special.”

… and Then Public Spaces within Buildings

“Online neighborhood and event-centric groups and forums have provided suitable non-physical spaces for public discussions – sometimes referred to as urban acupuncture.”

Man of the Year

Amancio Ortega Gaona – A Non-pretentious Fashion Entrepreneur.

On the rooftop

Shopping centers have been opening up on their sides towards the outdoors for quite some time. Now they are opening up on their rooftops as well. Green and activity roofs are all the rage right now.

Development Continues to Evolve Across the Continent

In Western Europe, where retail park development has reached maturity, new schemes have to be innovative and compelling. In Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the market is relatively undersupplied, providing scope for increased levels of development activity. These are the findings of a recent study conducted by Cushman & Wakefield.

“We Contribute to Marketing and Advertising Costs”

The Belgian De Vlier Retail Development Group has been planning and constructing retail parks in Belgium, France, and Austria under the Frunpark umbrella brand for close to 20 years. In an interview with ACROSS, Managing Director Peter De Roo reflects upon the last two decades and looks toward the future.

The Ten Commandments

Location marketing becomes increasingly important. This is the way to sustainably boost a shopping center’s frequency and revenue.

The Future Began Yesterday

The technological challenges that brick-and-mortar retail faces – a deliberately critical scenario.
