The #revitalization of the #RRZ is a necessary reset of a shopping center by Eurofund. The architectural atmosphere of the 1990s still dominates the site. I’m curious to see how much of that character will remain in the new concept. #retail #galeria #eurofund #mülheim

P&C gives Limbecker Platz Shopping Centre new momentum – while leaving yet another gap on Kettwiger Straße. Now it’s up to Midstad to deliver a viable transformation concept. #highstreet #retail #Essen

The new #Harry Potter store by #Thalia on #Ehrenstraße #Cologne offers something distinctive.Instead of traditional bookselling, the store focuses on an immersive fan experience and curated presentations that give the brand emotional depth. #retail

#mey&edlich is returning to physical #retail and is opening its first #Cologne store not on the highstreet but on Ehrenstraße. A location defined by urban style, trend awareness, and a clearly profiled target audience.

The #Quincy Shopping Center in #Cologne shows that #revitalization works when concept and execution align. Precise clustering, a clear positioning strategy, and a disciplined tenant mix make it one of the most coherent examples of contemporary inner‑city redevelopment. #retail

A consistent approach for a #medical center on the first floor of the #Quincy Shopping Center in #Cologne: physiotherapy, eye‑laser services and a blood plasma center.These uses permanently replace retail vacancies and stabilize the asset with demand‑driven, non‑cyclical tenants.

You can meet me today at the #succeet fair, Germany's largest consumer inside trade fair. I'm excited about AI innovations.

Long Queue in front of #OAKBERRY AÇAÍ at the Old Wall in #Hamburg.
OAKBERRY is a typical "urban lifestyle magnet" format: vegan, visually strong, internationally known and extremely instagrammable. Exactly such concepts attract frequency to the city centre today. @retail

You can meet me today at the #euroshop2026 trade fair in #Düsseldorf.

Medical services are increasingly moving into shopping centres. #MyZeil #Frankfurt is leading the way: teeth whitening right in the mall, almost like in the UK. #retail

[Kersten Peter @KerstenPeter2]

The first practices of the #Forum Medicum have opened in Forum #Mülheim, taking over extensive first‑floor areas previously used for #retail. This development exemplifies a structural transformation of retail space toward health‑related services.
#transformation

[Kersten Peter @KerstenPeter2]

At the DZ Hyp New Year's Kick Off in the #Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, Prof. @jsuedekum found that the German economy needs a new business model in a massively changed geopolitical environment. High investments in AI are very important for growth in order to remain competitive.

[Kersten Peter @KerstenPeter2]

The polarization of consumers poses major challenges for retail concepts. Especially in the main store of P&C on the Mö in #Hamburg, an Off‑Price store is problematic: discounting within a premium context dilutes brand value and messaging – and confuses consumers.

While discount and mass market segments are growing, luxury is stagnating under current economic conditions.

While department stores are closing, the Central Library in KAP1 #Düsseldorf shows how city centers survive: not through goods, but through people. Community places are the real frequency drivers -communication, culture, and education instead of discount campaigns. #City #retail

[Kersten Peter @KerstenPeter2]

The cultural impact of #deadmalls is striking. They often become sites of urban exploration, nostalgia, and even artistic documentation. #retail https://t.co/ueajmfXTbL

Is the new #markethall in #Königshof Essen already weakening? Low footfall at 2 pm. Empty brewery. Is the Christmas market the cause? The basement with three grocery markets, by contrast, performs steadily.

[Kersten Peter @KerstenPeter2]

#Essen loses another retail magnet: #Ansons. After Kaufhof, Karstadt, Görtz, Sinn, the polarization of #retail becomes evident: premium and discount formats survive, mid‑range segments collapse. This reflects structural market shifts driven by low purchasing power in the Ruhr.

#Galeria #karstadt #Duisburg shuts its doors at 7 p.m.,right in the middle of Black Week and the Christmas rush. Closing this early means they’ve already abandoned their customers, buried the concept,drained the city center of its pull. And @DecathlonDE just a polite subtenant?
