Eric Duval, Managing Director and Founder of Patrimoine & Commerce declared: « This year again, the Company's results are solid, despite the persistence of a complex economic context marked by a general decline in the entire real estate investment sector (including commercial real estate). Less affected than other commercial real estate segments, the retail park remains a safe haven market with solid fundamentals (low vacancy rate, affordable rents). We are continuing our objective of proactive portfolio management with the sale of non-strategic assets, the strengthening of the rental mix around growing verticals (discount, catering, leisure, food), the development and valorization of our existing assets. We remain attentive to opportunities to acquire relevant retail properties. In line with our profit distribution policy, and driven by our confidence in pursuing sustainable growth, we will propose the distribution of a dividend of € 1.35 per share, up +3.8% compared to last year. »
