DTZ ECHINOX - 13 December 2011
DTZ Echinox has been appointed by BelRom Real Estate to handle the property management of Severin Shopping Center and Botosani Shopping Center. With these two retail projects, DTZ enhances the size of their property management portfolio, adding to the existing major schemes: Shopping City Suceava and Shopping City Sibiu.
'Winning Severin and Botosani Shopping Center is a consequence of DTZ's extensive experience in managing complex retail projects, but it is also a result of the close and successful relation with the BelRom Group on the leasing segment. We strongly believe that the synergy between brokerage and management is the key to the long term success of any project.' says Yves d'Arfeuille (photo), Head of the Property Management Department, DTZ Echinox
