Investment driven by out-of- town retail Out-of-town retail stood out in 2021 with € 1.4bn invested, i.e. 7.8% above the 5-year average. One highlight was the acquisition of the Chasse Sud retail park by Twenty Two Real Estate with 52,000 sqm. However, in terms of the number of deals, street-level stores are still in the majority. In the capital, the iconic Tati Barbès was sold to Immobel France, which plans to turn it into a mixed-use building. This also applied in the regions, as in Marseille where CAAP Immo Invest and Groupe Sebban bought the premises of the Monoprix on Cours Saint-Louis.

TOTAL

Funds and SCPI are the biggest investors Funds and SCPIs account for a growing share of investment, representing 68% of the total in 2021 compared to an average of 47% over the last 10 years. This concentration of investment within a narrow investor category can also be seen in listed real estate companies, whose allocations have stabilised in recent years, contrary to unlisted real estate companies.

Many retailers are choosing to sell their premises, such as Casino, which is selling seven supermarkets, including one off-plan in Île-de-France, and fve hypermarkets in central and southern France. Meanwhile, Decathlon is selling the premises of 27 stores to the Singaporean fund IREIT GLOBAL.
