Dear readers! In September the CeMAT RUSSIA exhibition was held, which showed everyone that innovations and robotics are increasingly penetrating the logistics industry. We can safely say that many technologies are tested here, and only then they go out into the world. However, it is not only CeMAT RUSSIA that demonstrates the prevalence of the digital agenda.
Dear readers! This is the ninth issue of the journal, which turned out to be very rich and diverse. Traditionally, the issue is opened by an analyst. The material by Alina Nasyrova from the Market Guide Agency, dedicated to investments in warehouse complexes in Russia, recalls the importance of developing logistics infrastructure for the integrated development of regions.
Dear readers! We present to your attention the eighth issue of the magazine and its materials.
In 2016 nine new shopping centres with total leasable area of 473,000 sq m were delivered in Moscow. Three of them were opened in Q4 2016: Fashion House Outlet 2nd phase, Novomoskovsky SC and Butovo Mall, where only anchoring Lenta hypermarket was launched (13,500 sq m GBA).
According to the report, total GLA of shopping centres opened in Q4 2016 amounted to 111,000 sq m.
Oksana Kopylova, Associate Director of Research Department CBRE in Russia said: “Retail real estate market in Moscow in 2016 has been stable. On the one hand, delivery of new shopping centres made saturation with quality premises in Moscow close to boundary value of 500 sq m per 1000 people. On the other hand, this high level of penetration has not become a constraint for vacancy decline after significant increase (to 11.4% in Q3 2016) on the back of new shopping centre openings, albeit the vacancy rate declined to 10.2% at year end. As delivery volume in 2017 will be 2.5 times lower, we forecast further vacancy rate reduction, to 8.7%.”
