Our innovatin trajectory

As early as 2009, FREY had demonstrated its ability to reinvent urban spaces by being selected for the Aire des Moissons urban development zone in Troyes. This 30-hectare project, inaugurated in 2013, illustrates the Group’s visionary approach: innovative, environmentally-friendly public and retail facilities, that have revitalised a struggling area.

In 2014, FREY won the development competition launched by the Strasbourg Eurometropole for the requalification of its North Commercial Zone. Covering 150 hectares in 4 different municipalities, this initiative is considered to be the largest urban and commercial renewal operation ever launched in France. HQE Aménagement® certified, this project demonstrates FREY’s expertise in environmental matters.

In 2017, FREY opened Shopping Promenade® Cœur Picardie in Amiens, its first open-air shopping centre. This innovative concept offers a friendly, immersive experience, where shopping meets relaxation in an attractive, environmentally friendly setting. Nearly 40,000 m² and 40 retailers await you!

In 2018, FREY reached a key milestone in its international development with its first acquisition in Spain: Parc Vallès in Barcelona. This 47,000 m² open-air shopping centre, home to numerous local and international retailers, represents a strategic investment for FREY, which aims to develop its value and appeal.

In 2019, FREY strengthened its presence on the Iberian Peninsula with the acquisition of Algarve Shopping in Portugal. Benefiting from a privileged geographical location at the heart of a catchment area of almost 280,000 inhabitants, this shopping centre of almost 60,000 m² offers strong development potential.

In 2020, FREY gave new impetus to its CSR approach by launching FoREY®, its forestry group. With the acquisition of its first 104-hectare forest in France’s Côte d’Or region, FREY is delivering on its commitment to the sustainable management of French forests, in line with its corporate mission.

In 2021, FREY became the first listed French real estate company to obtain B Corp certification. This distinction, awarded by B Lab, testifies to the Group’s commitment to integrating ambitious environmental and social objectives into its business model. This is a significant recognition, given that only 5% of candidate companies obtain this certification.

In 2022, FREY reached a new milestone in its European expansion by acquiring the Matarnia Park Handlowy retail park in Gdańsk, Poland. This investment demonstrates the Group’s ambition to become a key player in sustainable retail on a European scale.

In 2023, FREY acquired the Polygone Riviera, an open-air shopping centre covering more than 77,000 m² in Cagnes-sur-Mer, France. The investment in this major French complex is a strong marker of the Group’s growth strategy.

In 2024, FREY took a new step in its diversification by acquiring ROS (Retail Outlet Shopping), one of the top outlet operators in Europe. This strategic investment gives the Group access to a new class of high-performance assets and strengthens its geographical presence.

In 2025, FREY continued to accelerate its growth and reaffirm its commitments. The Group completed the acquisition of Designer Outlet Berlin, its first outlet asset, strengthening its positioning in the value retail sector. It also officially launched construction work on the Malmö Designer Village in Sweden, a flagship project symbolizing FREY’s international ambitions. That same year, FREY was once again awarded the prestigious B Corp certification, achieving a remarkable score of 116.1 points, reaffirming its commitment to building a more sustainable and inclusive retail model.
