The Village France | Announcement

By WebMaster

Freeport Retail would like to share an announcement from our partner at The Village, Compagnie de Phalsbourg, which has a direct impact on our business together:

“From its foundation, Compagnie de Phalsbourg has always worked hand in hand with brands and retailers in a close partnership.

In the terrible times we are collectively facing, the French National Council for Commercial Centres (CNCC) has created the possibility for retailers to switch to a monthly rent. Compagnie de Phalsbourg shares this initiative but has decided to show even greater solidarity with physical retail and its partners.

Philippe Journo, CEO, has announced:

« We have decided to simply cancel all the rents owed by our non-grocery retailers during the lockdown, that is to say from March 15th to April 15th 2020 ».

Compagnie de Phalsbourg will also keep monitoring closely its sites and will ensure maximum security and safety to protect shops and stocks.”

Freeport Retail joins Philippe Journo and his team to wish our clients the best during the ordeal we are collectively facing.

Green Light for Downtown Grantham Designer Outlet

By Iestyn Roberts

Freeport Retail’s planning application for a £125m designer outlet centre in Grantham, in partnership with leading Lincolnshire retailer Oldrids & Downtown, has been approved by South Kesteven District Council.
The decision paves the way for a scheme that will create more than 1,700 new jobs. Located on land surrounding the existing Downtown store adjacent to the A1 highway, the plans include a 220,425 sq ft designer outlet centre comprising 107 shops.

THE VILLAGE, VILLEFONTAINE France

By Iestyn Roberts

The exciting and innovative new premium designer outlet The Village has opened amidst huge crowds and a massive firework display. One leading store reported taking €150,000 in the first 2 hours of trading. Located on the A43, on the way to Grenoble, about 20 minutes from Lyon city centre and 15 minutes from the airport. Designed by leading Italian architect, Gianni Ranaulo, it features glass ‘houses’, surrounded by a ring of shops, water features, musical fountains and art installations. The first phase of 24,700 m2 is already over 80% leased, and a second phase of approximately 5,000 m2 will open in 2019. The centre was developed by Compagnie de Phalsbourg in a joint venture with Freeport Retail, which holds an equity participation in the project, providing development, leasing and operations services.
