Revolution or evolution?

Did the pandemic turned the retail real estate market upside down, or simply accelerated the changes that were inevitable – that was the topic of discussion ULI Poland Young Leaders held with KAROL BARTOS, Group Head of Retail Asset Management at Atrium European Real Estate at the last Virtual Happy Hour.

“Consumers used the internet more but still enjoy picking up the product in a brick and mortar store, returning to centres quickly in search of the shopping experience and community contact ” – explained Karol, looking optimistically at new consumer trends and opportunities that are opening up for retail spaces. Contrary to the expectations of sceptics, this is not the time to say goodbye to shopping centres!”

We invite you to the Next Happy Hour meeting, hopefully not a virtual one after the summer.
