Looking at the larger picture

In the next few years, shopping centre owner, manager and redeveloper Atrium Group intends to focus on large cities and the dominant assets in its CEE portfolio, investing in increasing their average asset size through extensions – according to Josip Kardun, the CEO of the company.

Trends and changes on the Polish retail market

There is no chance of a slowdown on the retail market, as we learned during an interview with Renata Kusznierska, a partner and head of the retail agency at Cushman & Wakefield in Poland. But the market will undoubtedly change. And the changes are already visible. We asked her, therefore, what shape the market will take in the near future.

Re-imagining the retail asset scene

A lack of new retail schemes in the CEE region has prompted investors to seek out other opportunities. And there are quite a lot of these, as shopping habits change. ‘Eurobuild CEE’ sat down with James Chapman, MRICS, the partner for CEE capital markets at Cushman & Wakefield, to talk about the market from the investors’ perspective.

Polish Retail tax hits EU brick wall

After the European Commission demanded the suspension of Poland’s tax on the retail sector, the country’s largest retailers breathed out a sigh of relief. The tax seems likely to perish, following the fate of its Hungarian counterpart, or to evolve into something that is less burdensome.

Landlord, watch what your tenants are up to!

The infringement of intellectual property rights by the sellers of counterfeit goods is a huge problem for famous brands across the world. The owners of the brands are in a constant battle against such fake products, sometimes going after not only their producers, but also the other parties acting as intermediaries – and these include landlords.
