at the Beginning of last year was 7.4% of all retail premises empty, a year later 7.2 percent. That equates to a decrease by five hundred buildings. Measured in square meters, increased the vacancy rate slightly, from 7.7 percent to 7.8. That has to do with the failure of V&D, which in one fell swoop, a lot of big there without a resident came to sit.
Locatus observes that for many V&D buildings in the meantime a temporary or permanent solution is found. This is the opening of the Canadian warenhuisbedrijf Hudson’s Bay next year are the first of approximately twenty branches in the Netherlands. That come in places where previously a V&D was located. Also the sportketens Topshelf and Decathlon are settled in former V&D buildings.
Although the decrease of the vacancy, a nationwide trend seems to be, do not take advantage of all the shopping areas. In the centres of medium-sized cities, for example, in 2016, it is still an increase. ,,The retail sector still has a heavy,” concludes Locatus. In the hospitality industry on the other hand, there are last year more than a thousand sites have been added. Many of them took up their quarters in an empty shop.
