Innovations and new technological systems featured in the properties
The search for innovative solutions is a permanent feature of the firm’s strategy. Extensions and remodelling of our assets provide us with an opportunity to introduce innovative retail concepts, such as Carrefour’s concept, unique in Europe, which not only has the full digital path-to-purchase within the store, but also a fantastic dining section where dishes are prepared in a live cooking demonstration. This is a unique solution on European scale. It is also at one of our assets that the first on-line e-obuwie.pl store in Warsaw, i.e. e-commerce on off-line (brick and mortar)space of a shopping centre, was opened. We also provide opportunities for young brands in the form of pop-ups – these are often so-called Instagram brands, who come out of the exclusively virtual space to present themselves in a strictly commercial space by demonstrating the quality and attractiveness of their products.
Annual income and net profit
Atrium’s 2018 published net renal income amounted to 179,8m Euro.

For a number of years Atrium’s ongoing strategy has been to reposition our portfolio towards large, high quality dominant retail centres in prime urban locations and capital cities. As a result of recent activity 83 percent of our portfolio is now focussed on the two strongest economies in Central Europe, Poland and the Czech Republic. And, importantly, over 50% is in central locations in the capital cities of Warsaw and Prague. In addition, we have undertaken a substantial amount of development and refurbishment at many of our malls, adding entertainment and leisure areas, such as food courts, cinemas and other activities. This has allowed us to turn them into real leisure destinations which increases visitor numbers and promotes retail spend.
