retail park

In the latest ACROSS Retail Talk, business leaders Hannah Evans, Michael Hiese and Roman Müller discussed the success of retail parks and the importance of convenience and simplicity.

Investment volume in retail parks rose by around 53% in 2025 to €3.1 billion, making them responsible for just over 48% of nationwide retail investments (compared to a 32% market share in 2024). This is according to the Grocery Investment Market Report, which BNP Paribas Real Estate has now published once again.
