FASHION HOUSE Outlet Centres in Central and Eastern Europe and Russia generate excellent business results. Our schemes notice significant growths, for example on sales, sales density or average transaction value, year-on-year. That is why they are undoubtedly valuable retail property assets and bring substantial ROI. This is an ascending trend and we do believe to continue this market success in the following years – sums up Brendon O’Reilly, Managing Director of FASHION HOUSE Group.
