Leisure is playing an increasingly important role in shopping centres. To better understand this shift, YOUrban dedicated its latest Trend Observatory to the topic. And it clearly sparked interest: a full house for this new edition!

For over an hour and a half, retail and commercial real estate professionals, alongside leisure operators, brought together consumer data, market trends and real-world insights.

Industry players come together to discuss leisure

Following an introduction to the market and several insights presented by Bertrand Desage, the discussion continued with Caroline Bachelet Guilley, Managing Director France at Sparkx, and Charles Jouin, Director of the Ylium shopping centre.

Several leisure operators also shared their experiences, including Thibault Olanié Donnelly from SPORTFIELD, Hugo Perpere from NIKITO World and Romain Schneider from Palomano.

Apsys, AEW, Klépierre, Place du Commerce, REEP, SNCF Retail & Connexions, Newmark, Mercialys, CBRE, Carmila… many industry professionals also joined us to share their experiences and opportunities.

See you at the next Trend Observatory!

A morning full of insightful discussions, rounded off with a friendly breakfast.
