The world of retail is always on the move, especially with the rise of an omnichannel approach. Nevertheless, physical retail remains the preferred shopping channel for 60% of Europeans. New retail real estate concepts that can offer great shopping experiences like Designer Outlets and innovative outlet concepts are in high demand.

The ROS leasing team has more than 1,000 brand partners in its portfolio and is growing every day. Thanks to a European key account structure, the team maintains a close brand partnership and is part of a European fashion retail network. The constant exchange and the permanent monitoring of the European outlet market creates unique opportunities. Considering each individual outlet location, the catchment potential as well as the local retail density and the sensitivity of the target brands, the team develops a tailor-made leasing strategy with an asset management programme for brand partners and investors. Green leases and the omnichannel consideration of are now market standards.

“A balanced brand and category mix as well as a long-term cooperation with our partners are essential for the success of a Designer Outlet. With our lean structure and ‘trading-up’ strategy, we are able to create desirable shopping destinations that meet brand partners’ requirements and changing customer demands.”

Some locations have the potential to become more daily food destinations, taking here a centralized approach with a Food Court.
