Municipalities

Municipalities are always seeking ways to improve the quality of the public realm. Urban centre locations that combine many different functions play an important role here.

The retail function is often the economic driver behind improvements in the public realm, that municipalities can implement. Corio offers solutions for municipalities wanting to invest in the quality of urban areas. Through its in-house market research, its understanding of consumers and their behaviour, its large portfolio, its mix of cultures and its knowledge of different European regions, Corio is able to bring maximum creativity to the solutions it proposes.

Being involved in these challenges from the start also brings advantages to Corio. Adding properties to the portfolio based on cost creates greater potential for future appreciation and performance than acquisitions in highly competitive environments with correspondingly high prices. It also means that Corio is able to influence the quality of the project from the start. Corio’s quality is reflected in the mix of retailers, the design, the services and the management. In-house development expertise has become an important asset within the Corio organisation.
