2021 was a very busy year on the commercial front for Klépierre, with 1,600 new leases signed, marking a return to pre-Covid levels. Visitors flocked back to stores, resulting in retailer sales almost on a par with 2019 figures. Klépierre’s shopping centers confirmed their appeal among international and national brands, thanks in large part to the power of our European platform.
Some retail segments did particularly well over the year, including sneakers and other sporting goods, as well as health and beauty, innovative tech brands and discount formats. Fashion was another winner, with major retailers continuing to roll out new stores and concepts in our shopping centers across Europe.
