Please say why you should be considered for the award
In 2019, following its successful interim results, EPP remains on its path to meet its strategic goal to consolidate the Polish shopping centre market. All key operational highlights, including footfall, sales and occupancy have increased, and the company has continued to strengthen its assets in key Polish cities. In the October 2018 – September 2019 period EPP has successfully performed the divestment of part of its office portfolio through its sale to a JV partner. Moreover, it has increased exposure to retail with the acquisition of 4 shopping centres and the opening of Galeria Młociny. To counteract the effect of the Sunday trade ban and to increase its community engagement, EPP has launched its first of a kind Sunday engagement program of social activities. The company is looking forward to 2020, when its attractive and diversified pipeline of assets will include 28 retail projects with over 1 000 000 sqm of GLA, and footfall of over 120 mln.
