Delhaize Serbia Success Story

Our Capital Market Team Assisted Strategic Portfolio Optimization for the Leading Food Retail Company in Serbia!
We are delighted to share a SuccessStory that highlights the expertise of our Capital Market team. We collaborated closely with a major food retail company in Serbia, Delhaize Serbia guiding them through a process of selling and leasing back their properties totaling 30,000 sq m across five cities in Serbia.
Delhaize, a prominent name in the food retail industry, sought to streamline its operations in Serbia. The primary objective was to identify properties for sale and subsequent lease-back. The selected properties were strategically chosen to optimize Delhaize’s real estate portfolio, aligning with their long-term business objectives.
Congratulations to Delhaize on this successful process, and we remain dedicated to shaping more success stories in the dynamic world of investments!

At the conference held at the Museum of Contemporary Art, experts from the CBS International Serbia Team presented the latest real estate market figures for 2023 to prominent representatives of banks and outlined trends for the forthcoming period. The main idea was to analyse market segments from the perspective of valuers and brokers. Marta Sredojevic and Uros Kokman MRICS RV presented the office market of Belgrade and Novi Sad, which has become increasingly attractive to both investors and tenants. Tamara Kostadinovic and Dusan Miletic gave insight into the Serbian retail market, where smaller cities are also witnessing the construction of retail parks in addition to larger cities. Mina Kalezic and Slobodan Repija gave an overview of the trends in the residential market, especially regarding the expectations as per the pricing and demand volumes. One of the topics also covered Serbian industrial market and renewable energy sources. Isidora Mrvic focused on the hotel market and what to expect in this segment, while Nenad Suzic presented the capital market trends in the CEE market. At the end of the presentation, representatives of the banking sector had an opportunity to share their opinions on the current situation and future investments in the economy. The conclusion was that, apart from commercial projects, the expectation is that the largest investments in the next five years will be in renewable energy sources, and the gathering concluded with a visit to the exhibition of famous Serbian painter Nadezda Petrovic.
