💡Insights from MAPIC 2024: Transforming Retail Spaces   Marek Noetzel, NEPI Rockcastle’s Chief Operating Officer, shared his expertise during the "Better than New: Bringing Locations Back to Life" panel highlighting the transformation across our assets, where refurbishment meets innovation to deliver outstanding results for tenants and customers.   Here’s how NEPI Rockcastle is driving flexibility and collaboration: 🤝 Tenant-Centric Approach We adapt to meet tenant needs, whether it’s resizing, relocating, or reshaping spaces. At Bonarka, close collaboration with retailers ensures they thrive—even during refurbishment—with no current vacancies and uninterrupted operations.   🔄 Flexibility in Planning Retail is evolving, and so are we. By maintaining an open dialogue with tenants, we create right-sized units that align with their goals while delivering the experiences customers want.   🏗️ Creative Solutions From transforming floor connections to reshaping the roof to accommodate flagship stores like Primark, Bonarka’s refurbishment is reimagining retail for better performance and customer satisfaction.

💡 #WhitePaper: Retail Growth Shifts to Central and Eastern Europe At this year’s MAPIC event, NEPI Rockcastle is proud to launch its latest white paper: "New Europe: The Future for Retail Growth Shifts to CEE." The report highlights why Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) is emerging as the epicentre of retail opportunity: 📈 Rapid Economic Growth: GDP in CEE markets is forecast to grow at 3.16% in 2025, more than double the euro area’s projected 1.5%, continuing to outstrip Western Europe. 💶 Closing the Income Gap: CEE is rapidly catching up to Western Europe as wage growth outpaces inflation, driving higher disposable incomes. With strong real wage growth boosting private consumption, retail sales in CEE have bounced back strongly post-pandemic and are trending higher. 🏙️ Shopping Centres as Urban Hubs: With over 50% of retail trading volume flowing through large, modern malls, CEE shopping centres are thriving as primary retail and social destinations. NEPI Rockcastle stands at the forefront of these shifts, offering investors and retailers unparalleled access to the region’s growing affluence and vibrant retail ecosystem. 📖 Read the full white paper below #NEPIrockcastle #CEE #RetailGrowth #MAPIC2024 #FutureOfRetail
