CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (CBRE) today announced the acquisition of SCM Europe BV (“SCM”), a leading Dutch shopping centre management company, further strengthening its leadership in the European retail real estate sector.
SCM provides property management, development consultancy and leasing services to a broad range of clients including Syntrus Achmea and ING Real Estate Investment Management. The company manages 59 retail assets covering 6.7 million sq ft of space. Its portfolio includes leading Dutch high-street shopping centres such as the Rotterdam Lijnbaan and the Eindhoven Heuvel Gallery, as well as the renowned Megastores in The Hague and the Megastores of Rotterdam Alexandrium.
CBRE’s pan-European retail business has grown significantly through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions, delivering on the company’s strategy of continually developing the depth and breadth of its services. Last month, CBRE acquired Michael Peddar & Company, a UK-based retail property specialist, focusing on the luxury goods and lifestyle sectors, and earlier this year, it purchased Euro Mall Centre Management, a major retail property manager in Central and Eastern Europe. In late 2008, CBRE acquired Espansione Commerciale, the market leader in shopping centre leasing and property management in Italy.
