NEWGATE INVESTMENT ANNOUNCES LEASE OF 18,737 SQ M OF RETAIL SPACE

Over the past year, Newgate Investment has finalized lease agreements for over 18,737 square meters of modern retail space. This figure includes both new leases and extensions of existing contracts. The company's portfolio now comprises 33 retail parks, totaling more than 165,000 square meters of leasable area, with an impressive occupancy rate exceeding 99%.

"The high occupancy level is the result of proactive management and careful property selection for our retail park portfolio. When acquiring assets, we focus on excellently located properties tailored to local conditions, maximizing added value for residents and, consequently, tenants. We prioritize traditional, regionally dominant retail locations that either house our facilities or are enhanced by them," says Robert Dudziński, Head of Asset Management at Newgate Investment. "Among the companies that have either extended or signed new lease agreements within our portfolio are chain brands such as Rossmann, Deichmann, TEDi, Euro RTV AGD, CCC, and KiK, in addition to local entrepreneurs whose offerings complement the needs of the community and enhance the overall commercial and service array of our facilities."

Newgate Investment's commercial properties offer a diverse range of services that cater to local community needs. "Our partners include brands from the DIY industry, such as Castorama, Jysk, and Bricomarche; food sector brands like Biedronka, Lidl, Netto, Kaufland, and Spar; and other leading brands including Hebe, Pepco, Action, Media Expert, CCC, and Martes Sport," adds Robert Dudziński.

In addition to their commercial and service offerings, Newgate Investment is committed to quality real estate and providing benefits to residents through ESG initiatives. Electric car chargers are being installed in project parking lots, and the energy used to power facilities primarily come from renewable sources. When acquiring real estate, Newgate evaluates not only energy efficiency but also the impact of projects on the environment, ensuring that ecological values are preserved or enhanced during the operation or construction of new retail parks.

The company is continuously working to expand its portfolio in Poland. In 2024, three retail parks were acquired in Bielsko-Biała, Opole, and Zgorzelec, with a total rentable area of nearly 40,000 square meters.
