The retail parks are owned by the FRI and FRI 2 funds, and Mitiska REIM acts as the fund’s advisor in the sale transaction. The two funds have 24 retail parks, anchored by Kaufland or Lidl, with a gross leasable area of ​​132,000 square meters. Among the tenants of the shopping centres are Deichmann, DM, Pepco, Jysk, KFC, Kik and Takko.
