Global Tax Deal Is Not Enough

“Research by CNCC in 2019 showed that France applied 90 different taxes on brick-and-mortal retail, while e-tailers, which represented about 10% of the total market at the time, paid virtually no taxes at all.”

Comparison of Online Retail in Europe

There are significant and surprising differences in the affinity for online shopping – even across the individual countries. For example, one might expect such an affinity to be higher in rural areas, but the opposite is the case: In densely populated urban regions, it is approximately 15% to 20% higher than the national average.

Sustainable expansion

“Seville Fashion Outlet in Spain will enjoy an extension of 2,680 sq m which will create space for 17 major brands to be added to the existing roster of more than 70 stores.”

Crisis-resistant Outlet Centers

“In some cases, schemes are trading at the same or even higher sales densities than previous years and, in many cases, better than pre-pandemic, 2019 levels.”

Land of Fashion outlet villages successfully repositioned

“We are focusing on our customer journey under the theme of the Italian Dolce Vita – to bring out the best of Italy to our international visitors, and the best of the world to Italy, through fashion, hospitality, culinary experiences, art and design.”

“Upbeat Sounds, Such as Pop, Soul, and Funk, Are in High Demand”

Shopping areas, which owe their appeal, in part, to the vibrant atmospheres that are generated by larger crowds, are currently constrained by the safety measures that have been put into place as a result of Covid-19. Well-curated music can be used to fill the vacuum. Arndt-Helge Grap, Managing Director of Radiopark, understands this, and much more, all too well.

Modern Lighting for Shopping Centers

Anticipatory planning of natural lighting not only reduces energy consumption, but it also increases the quality of stay for people at shopping centers.

Outlet Retailing’s Strong Emerge

“Outlets benefit due to their out-of-town locations. As a consumer, you are able to park outside and quickly walk to your store of choice in a relaxed, open environment.”

Technology is The Future for Outlet Centers

“As travel restrictions are eased over the coming months we will see the full return of tourist travel, which is good news for luxury retail destinations across the UK and Europe.”

“Major Cities Will Continue to Grow”

And, according to Herman Jan Faber, Global Head of External Clients and Business Development at Redevco, metropolitan areas are in need of transformation. The company, which was founded two decades ago, is diversifying its portfolio and capture the opportunities that arise as cities evolve.

Recently Opened

The Outlet City in Metzingen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg has added another attraction: the L’Osteria restaurant at the Enzian Höfe. In its role as the general contractor, umdasch The Store Makers led the project through the turbulent period of the pandemic, thereby allowing the restaurateurs to focus on their favorite task – providing hospitality.

The rebirth of an institution

The Parisian luxury department store La Samaritaine was originally opened in 1869 and had been closed for 16 years. Now it is back open for business.

Reshaping tomorrow’s retail landscape

“We recognize that the traditional model for urban malls needs to evolve in the face of shifts in consumer habits, e-commerce growth, new technologies, urbanization, declining use of private transportation, and a localization of demand towards accessible services and environmental sustainability.”

“Many people believe that commercial real estate projects should learn from theme parks and build upon the concept by planning events and other activities that make them even more of a destination than before.”
