MEC rents 65,000m² of retail space in the first half of 2024

The lease level at MEC remains very high in the first half of 2024. The retail real estate specialist concluded over 110 new and follow-up leases with a total area of 65,000m² during this period. “This is a very good result, as almost all of the major re-letting projects with former Real spaces have now been successfully implemented,” says Christian Thiele, Head of Leasing Management at MEC. Contractual partners include Kaufland, Müller Drogerie, C&A, Media Markt, Siemes Schuhcenter, New Yorker, Woolworth and Bonita.

Occupancy rate in large properties significantly improved

As a result of these leases, the occupancy rates of some large re-letting projects improved significantly in some cases. MEC is currently implementing major re-letting concepts in Saarbasar in Saarbrücken, Plauen Park in Plauen, Ostsee Park in Rostock, Förde Park in Flensburg, the Shopping Center Schlössle Galerie in Pforzheim, Nordpark in Dreieich and Galerie Troisdorf.

Leasing specialist Christian Thiele sees the reasons for the leasing success in the forward-looking action and good teamplay of all those involved: “By developing concepts at an early stage and through interdisciplinary cooperation with our clients and colleagues from Center Management and Technical Management, we can actively shape changes in our industry.”
