In the first half of the 2014 of the year, 53 new shopping centers were built in Europe, of which 12 in Russia, and 49 should open before the end of the 2015 of the year.

“Russia is the largest European market in terms of retail turnover, but until recently, demand exceeded supply. The intensification of the development of shopping centers since 2010 has led to a large volume of new construction, which is now being commissioned, ”said Maxim Karbasnikoff, head of the retail real estate department at Cushman & Wakefield Russia.
