MEC reports strong Leasing Performance in 2025

Over the course of the year, the company concluded 272 new and renewal lease agreements covering a total area of approximately 166,000 sqm. The result reflects sustained leasing activity in a challenging market environment and underscores MEC’s operational capabilities in both asset management and repositioning projects.

A particular focus in 2025 was placed on two major restructuring projects: Halle Center Peißen and Saarbasar Saarbrücken. In both schemes, all leases had expired due to overarching master lease agreements.

MEC succeeded in securing renewal agreements with a large share of existing tenants and has largely completed the restructuring processes. Through the introduction of new tenants, optimized floor layouts and adjustments to the tenant mix, both properties have been repositioned to align more closely with current market requirements.

“The 2025 leasing result demonstrates how we translate strategic concepts into concrete implementation. Especially in complex starting situations, our experience, interdisciplinary collaboration and consistent execution are decisive.”

Christian Thiele, Head of Leasing Management at MEC METRO-ECE-Centermanagement

In addition to mandates within its managed portfolio, MEC also executed individual leasing assignments for external properties, contributing further to the overall result.

MEC’s leasing performance is based on an integrated approach that aligns personalized leasing strategies with the asset objectives of its clients. The leasing team consists of 14 specialists, working in close coordination with in-house experts responsible for the management and development of retail properties.
