On February 4, 2025, Fourlis Group successfully completed the sale through private placement of 16% of the share capital of TRADE ESTATES REIC to a limited circle of institutional investors, resulting in the reduction of the Fourlis Group's participation below 50%.

In the retail parks sector, construction works for the Top Parks Heraklion, Crete, with a total gross leasable area of 14,000 sq.m. and a budget of €23.0 million, were successfully completed. The investment was financed through bank lending and the participation of the Recovery and Resilience Fund. In the logistics segment, the construction of InterIKEA’s international logistics center is progressing at an intensive pace, in line with the project’s schedule, with phased delivery expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. 

Mr. Dimitris Papoulis, CEO of Trade Estates, stated: “The strong results we are announcing for the first half of 2025 fully confirm the guidance we issued for the full year 2025 during the Company’s Annual General Meeting. Our retail parks continue to outperform the market in terms of both footfall and per capita spending, while the active management of operating and financial costs further contributes to the Company’s very positive financial performance. As new retail properties, such as the Top Parks Heraklion, are added to our portfolio, the benefits of specialization become increasingly evident, particularly through the synergies achieved in administrative and operating expenses. At the same time, beyond the progress of the existing investment program in the second half of 2025 - with the completion of InterIKEA’s international logistics center and the full restart of construction works at The Ellinikon Commercial Hub, where the Top Parks retail park will be developed hosting, among others, the IKEA of the Southern Suburbs. At the same time, capitalizing on the opportunities arising in the large-scale logistics sector due to the ongoing reconfiguration of the global trade landscape, the Company has decided to participate, through the joint venture “Goldair Cargo – Aktor Group of Companies – Trade Estates” in the tender process for the concession of the project “Development, Licensing, Construction, Operation, Exploitation and Maintenance of a Business Park at the GAIOSE SA property of the former military camp of Gkonos.”
