FREY the French real estate specialist in the development and management of open-air shopping centres, announces the acquisition of the Carré Sud property in Nîmes. FREY bought the shares of a company owned by a group of private individuals for an amount of € 85.7 million (incl. transfer tax).
On this occasion, Antoine FREY, Chairman and CEO, said: “Located 40 km from the Shopping Promenade in Arles, Carré Sud strengthens our presence in south-east France. Located in Nîmes’ leading shopping area, Carré Sud is an outperforming asset that offers shopping and leisure activities in line with the expectations of an ever-growing client base”.
Located in the south of Nîmes and close to the main roads and motorways, Carré Sud is located close to Géant Casino – Cap Costières, which has become the main shopping destination in the city since 2003.
Opened in 2006, Carré Sud shares many similarities with the spirit and aesthetics of FREY’s Shopping Promenade. The Group plans to make additional investments to continue the work of creating value and to implement the residual building capacity of the site in the medium term while reinforcing the Shopping Promenade codes of the site.
The acquisition was financed from the company’s own resources.
