Bucharest, April 2022: The real estate consulting company Cushman & Wakefield Echinox has been appointed to manage Funshop Park project developed in Timisoara by the Polish company Scallier, one of the most dynamic investors in small and medium retail parks. The retail shop in Timisoara is the third project Funshop managed by Cushman & Wakefield Echinox, after taking over last year the management of two other retail parks, in Rosiorii de Vede and Focsani.
Scallier has acquired last year the project in Timișoara, originally named Prima Shops, from Oasis Retail & Development.
Funshop Timișoara is currently in advanced stages of development and will have a gross leasable area of 10,800 square meters, the delivery being scheduled for Q2 2022.
Until now, the investor and developer secured leasing contracts for 15 out of 20 retail spaces available in the project, with tenants such as TEDI, C&A, Flanco, KIK, MaxiPet, Pepco, Numero Uno, Sportissimo, Agroland, Noriel. In addition, the retail park will host important F&B operators with KFC, Mesopotamia or Noodle Pack amongst others.
The Asset Services team of Cushman & Wakefield Echinox will have responsibilities in managing day-to-day activities within the project, tenant relationship management, operational supervision, financial services and landlord reporting, through a team of specialists coordinated by Mihaela Petruescu, Partner Asset Services.
Mihaela Petruescu, Partner Asset Services, Cushman & Wakefield Echinox: “We are excited to expand our partnership with Scallier, and this new project proves that services we provide are in line with our client’s expectations. We trust in the format Scallier is developing in the Romanian market, bringing quality and modern projects to communities not covered until now by other developers.
