PropertyEU Magazine November 2012

The November edition of PropertyEU Magazine features a special report on the European retail sector with rankings of the top retail investors and developers and the top cross-border retail investment deals.

The report highlights the Russian market as one of the last big, untapped retail markets in Europe which is attracting growing interest from international investors. However, developers remain wary due to the region's endemic image of bureaucracy and corruption.
