Shoppingcenter Performance Report Germany. Tenant Survey 2025

Market study within the framework of ecostra’s basic research.

Ranking and evaluation of a total of 400 shopping centres in Germany on the basis of a tenant survey (sales and expansion managers) on the performance of their of their stores in the centres.

For each individual shopping centre, tenants were asked how satisfied they were with the turnover generated there and the result was then translated into a centre ranking. This ranking then also shows: who is at the top or who has happy tenants and who is at the bottom or has dissatisfied tenants. However, the survey programme goes even further. The report also sheds light on the following points:

• Who is the best performing shopping centre operator in Germany from the perspective of the tenants surveyed?
• Should rents at the respective location be more closely linked to the turnover generated there?
• Which non-food discounter should be represented in a shopping center if possible? Is it Woolworth, Action, or Takko?
• What complementary uses are suitable means for the sustainable repositioning of a center? Leisure and entertainment, medical facilities, co-working spaces, outlet stores?
• What are the most pressing problems for tenants when operating shops in German shopping centres?
• How many new shop openings are planned in the next 12 months, how many centre closures?
• Where is expansion planned? In city centre locations? In shopping centres? In retail parks?
• Where will better returns be achieved? In shopping centres or in city centre high streets?

You can expect exciting results and findings on the situation and development of shopping centres in Germany as well as on the retail landscape in general.
