Dear readers! We present to your attention the first issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2025. First of all, we would like to draw readers' attention to our new partner R1 Development, a development company that creates a new generation environment and specializes in the construction of industrial, logistics, commercial and residential real estate.

Dear readers! We present to your attention the final issue of the LOGISTICS journal in 2024. We have tried to make it rich and interesting. Today, many Russian companies operate under strict sanctions restrictions, which force them to reorient logistics flows. One of the possible solutions to this problem may be the Russia – Mongolia – China economic corridor. Details can be found in the article by Alexandra Kazunina.

MOSCOW, 12 July, 2016 – According to JLL estimates, 180,000 sq m of quality shopping centres were completed in Moscow in Q2 2016, comprising Riviera SC (100,000 sq m) and Riga Mall (80,000 sq m). Still, total completions in H1 2016 have dropped by half in comparison with the same period of last year.
Overall, Moscow quality shopping centre supply is likely to increase by 430,000 sq m this year, which is 24% less on YoY basis. Key announced schemes include Metropolis shopping centre (2nd phase), Oceania, Khorosho!, and Butovo Mall.
“In spite of new shopping centres openings, vacancy rate remained the same as in Q1 2016 at 8%. This shows that both retailers and landlords have become comfortable in the current market conditions. Strong retail chains keep expanding, opening new stores in recently commissioned malls. Landlords adjust by providing flexible lease terms to tenants. As a result, we see gradually rising occupancy in shopping centres that entered the market during the tough period of 2014-2015,” – Tatyana Malyanova, Head of Shopping Centre Agency, JLL, Russia & CIS, comments. – “At the same time, tenant rotation is rather high: due to appearance of new premises retailers continue to close down less effective stores, find new locations and change format of their stores.”
Nevertheless, JLL analysts expect a slight rise in vacancy rates, up to 10% in H2 2016 due to expected completion of 250,000 sq m of new retail space.
“Together with the expansion of existing retailers, new foreign brands enter the Russian market. According to our calculations, 19 new brands have appeared on the market in H1 2016. Among the newcomers are Italian cosmetics store KIKO Milano in Okhotny Ryad shopping centre, Italian fashion brand Armani Exchange in Aviapark, Mega Tyopliy Stan, Mega Khimki and Avenue South West.” – Maria Shpakova, Retail Market Analyst, JLL, Russia & CIS, notes. – “In the near future, Dutch underwear brand Hunkemoller intends to open its doors in Mega Khimki, British footwear brand L.K.Bennett is expected to appear in Metropolis, and Israeli coffee shop Cofix is to enter the Moscow market as well.”
