Retail premises
To optimise the tenant structure of its city centre shopping centers, ECE draws up a branch and tenant mix tailored to the specific location as early as the planning phase. The outlets in our shopping projects - from start-ups to international chains - supplement the range of goods and services on offer in the city centre and help to attract more and new visitors from the nearby and outlying region. The center concepts are reviewed and adapted on an ongoing basis in response to changing trends in the retail sector.
Staggered system of rents
The staggered system of shop rents is a cornerstone of the ECE concept. It goes without saying that a food outlet cannot afford the same rent as a jewellery shop, for example. Our tenants pay a sector-related rent based on the financial strength of the individual store. A completely different leasing concept from that employed by owner-operators of retailing complexes and leasing agents – whose aim it usually is to pocket the highest possible rent for each individual shop. The result: entire branches begin to disappear from the city centres. We are committed to reversing this trend.
Our other strengths include:
- Market leader in the shopping center sector for over 40 years
- First-rate specialists, including around 50 leasing experts and 100 center managers
- Synergistic benefits from 97 centers under management, an aggregate sales area of one and 3,000,000 square metres, and total annual sales of Euro 12 billion
- 10,000 retail and 700 office tenants
- Top locations at the heart of city districts in major metropolises
- Excellent accessibility
- Effective location marketing
- Ongoing optimisation
- Well-balanced branch mix
- Professional support services
- Efficient communal facilities
- Strong expansion underpinned by a constant construction and planning volume of around Euro 5 billion
- The record shows: all projects have been successful to date. And ECE tenants have enjoyed favourable sales growth against the sector trend
