«Now there is a trend: in central parts of Russian cities, small shopping centres are bought for demolition at the cost of the land. They change the ground category and start building apartment buildings or turn them into warehouses for marketplaces. It concerns shopping centres from 5 thousand square meters» adds Margarita Forbes.
Belavin believes, at the same time, deals for the venues belonging to IKEA will be carried out under some additional conditions due to the need to sell faster. There is a possibility of a reduced cost, and enterprise sales are not excluded.
«Many people think that investing in a shopping centre is the best strategy with a payback period of seven to nine years. It is worth mentioning that in this case, you are definitely taking a risk. It is a worthwhile idea to weigh up the pros and cons and think out your strategy» warns Elena Mironova.
