Mercialys Rolls out Its Accretive Pipeline, Opening Three New Shopping Center Extensions in Saint-Étienne, Morlaix and Rennes

Regulatory News:

Mercialys (Paris:MERY) has once again confirmed its appeal with the delivery of three extension projects at the end of 2017 for the Saint-Étienne, Morlaix and Rennes malls and the arrival of 68 retailers, including 10 new ones, in these shopping centers. Driven by its outstanding commercial development, Mercialys is continuing to diversify and strengthen its offer and create value within its portfolio.

In Saint-Étienne’s Monthieu retail hub, the shopping center extension opened its doors on November 8.

Following its transformation in less than a year, this extension project has attracted 19 new stores and 4 mid-size units, further enhancing the existing selection.

Its commercial visibility has been rethought and it is now easier to identify and access its various services. Among others, Fnac, Itstyle, Adopt, Leonidas, Z, Acuitis, New Yorker, Brut Butcher, Courir, MGC Shoes and Rouge Gorge have chosen to benefit from this fully renovated space, enabling La Galerie Espace Monthieu to now offer 60 stores and restaurants and 4 mid-size units.

On November 23, the opening of La Galerie Géant Morlaix highlighted the successful extension of this neighborhood shopping center, the leader in its catchment area. Its existing selection has been further enhanced with the arrival of numerous retailers, including H&M, Nocibé, Yves Rocher, multistore Jules Brice Bizzbee, Le Club Sandwich, Maneo, Rouge Gorge and Bleu Libellule. The center now offers 65 stores.

On November 29, in Rennes, a new project from the pipeline was inaugurated. This center has completed its transformation, unveiling its extension’s 22 stores and mid-size units. La Galerie Grand Quartier is now home to 110 stores and 10 restaurants over 45,000 sq.m. Its outstanding modern urban architecture, firmly integrated within its environment, is combined with a modernized interior design and new signage.

Mango, Bizzbee, Father & Sons, Footlocker, Timberland and Armand Thiery (men’s and women’s collections) have been added to the range of fashion stores already present. Le Comptoir de Mathilde, Waffle Factory and Bialetti have also enhanced the dining and homeware selection, while Orange, Jack & Jones and Bonobo have rolled out entirely new concepts. Lastly, Cultura will be opening very soon with 2,000 sq.m of space.

The inauguration of these three shopping center extensions marks the culmination of a year of operational excellence and success. Mercialys has rolled out 16,000 sq.m of additional rental space, which will generate a further Euro 3.3 million of full-year rent for a total investment of Euro 47 million, with an average yield on cost of 7.0% for this work.
