Small scale retail assets on the rise

- Supply of modern retail space in Poland’s retail parks and convenience centres totalled 2.6 million sqm in June 2020.
- Approx. 171,000 sqm of retail park and convenience centre space is at the construction stage (34% of all supply currently under development).
Retail new normal
The smallest assets are those where the customer base is to be rebuilt the fastest during Covid-19 pandemic. Why? They have started to win back customers more dynamically and still outperform the general footfall trends. The need to shop safely is paramount and, with a premium placed by customers on suitable social distancing, large stores with limited common areas are more favoured as they are situated in more spacious environments, most frequently found in retail parks.
