The Apsys Group: A global operator in commercial real estate

APSYS: DEVELOPING ADAPTIVE, ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY REAL-ESTATE PROJECTS

A global operator in commercial real estate, created in 1996, Apsys invests in, designs, builds, markets and operates retailing and leisure spaces. Apsys responds to consumers’ behaviour by adopting an original approach and using its expertise, which enables it to design its schemes and to make them evolve over time. By enhancing the strengths of the environment of each of its projects and highlighting the atmosphere, the social and cultural specificities and heritage of each site, Apsys designs tailor-made spaces that residents can naturally make their own.

THE MANUFAKTURA SHOPPING CENTER, A EUROPEAN LANDMARK

In Poland, Apsys is a major operator: among other achievements, it manages fifteen shopping centres throughout the country. Thanks to its perfect understanding of Polish society and its ambitions for the country, Apsys has always demonstrated a fresh approach to retailing in Poland. In Lodz, Manufaktura is the expression of the passion and vision displayed by Apsys. Manufaktura has been designed as a “city within the city”, with 110,000 square meters of retailing space; it has received numerous accolades and prizes, including the Prize for Best European Shopping Center from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) in April 2008 in the “extra large” category. In 2010, 20 million shoppers visited the Manufaktura shopping center.

RETAIL SPACES THAT VIBRATE WITH THE CITY’S PULSE

 In France, on each of its 9 ongoing operations, Apsys pays special attention to the overall coherence of urban projects, but also to the general coherence between the schemes of shopping and leisure centres that it offers both in city centre and the ones it develops in the periphery. Apsys shopping centres open the way to the cities of the tomorrow. By adopting a global yet unique approach to each project, Apsys knows how to respect and bring the best out of the ideas of everyone involved (the city, brands, residents, associations) to bring them to an agreement that ensures the success of the project.
