Additional information:
FASHION HOUSE Group is a leading player in the European outlet sector and the largest developer/operator in the CEE and Russian markets with a proven track record of establishing the outlet sector in emerging markets. The Group receives institutional recognition and awards for both the development and management of Outlet Centres. FASHION HOUSE Outlet Centres have won the Europa Property CEE Factory Outlet of the Year in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The first FASHION HOUSE Outlet Centre was opened in 2004 in the southern Polish town of Sosnowiec, near Katowice. Nowadays, FASHION HOUSE Outlet Centres offer over 250 international brands to 10 million customers on a total lettable area of over 70,000 sqm in Poland and Romania every year. Furthermore the company is currently developing its second project in Bucharest, and is expanding into the Russian and Ukrainian markets with projects located in Moscow, St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg, which gives a total lettable area of 84,400 sqm under development.
FASHION HOUSE Outlet Centres offer consumers a unique discount shopping experience – top quality international and domestic brands are available all year round for 30-70% less than original prices, within buildings of a unique architectural theme. This shopping environment distinguishes them from any other local shopping scheme: from a 19th Century street with railway architecture, through a traditional fishing village with its own lighthouse to a replica of Warsaw or Bucharest “Old Town” facades.
FASHION HOUSE Group is a fully integrated company consisting of two main business units: Development and Management. Development has in home all the professional skills that are needed to fully and successfully develop a top-of-the-range outlet centre according to the FAHION HOUSE concept. But since the real estate is only half of the project, a highly skilled outlet Management team is meant to make the centre successful. As a provider of management and operations services the company has a portfolio of nine outlets including three non-FASHION HOUSE branded sites in Switzerland, Serbia and Slovenia. FASHION HOUSE Group also franchises its know how to third party investors/developers. An ideal formula which allows for FASHION HOUSE Group to accelerate its growth and for the investors to decrease the risk and increase the profitability.
