According to the report, no high quality shopping centre was opened in H1 in the Russian regions. This reflected on average vacancy rate in megacities in large shopping centers. It fell to 6-8%.

Zero half-year: no high quality shopping center was opened in H1 2018 in the regions

In H1 2018 there were no high-quality shopping center openings in the regions. All announced shopping centers in 2018 with total leasable area of 298,655 sq m are expected to be opened in H2. Thus, the annual construction volume for this year could be minimal for the last 15 years.

The falling volume of new high quality shopping centers openings leaded to the average vacancy rate decrease in large shopping centers in Megacities in H1 2018, to 6-8%. In H2 2017 this indicator was 8-10%.

A number of key events in retail sector: the change of owner of «Magnit» and management of «Pyaterochka», merger of «Svyaznoy» and «Euroset», purchase of «Eldorado» by «M.Video» - most likely, will lead to a change in strategies of these retailers and their further tenant rotation. 

In H1 2018 the following projects were announced:
• SEC Mall of Baltia (GLA: 42,000 sq m) in Kaliningrad;
• Retail Park (GBA: 70,000 sq m) in Ryazan
