The mandate, which was awarded as of January 1, 2020, covers the commercial and technical property management for a total leasable area of 106,190 square meters. MEC is also responsible for leasing management for the respective locations.

The portfolio of the funds comprises the retail parks Frankenberger Tor, Basinus Center Bensheim, Claudius FMZ Ludwigshafen, Nordpark Alzenau, Saalbach Center Bruchsal, FMZ Gummersbach, Activ-Arcaden Horb am Neckar, Griesheim-Center Frankfurt as well as the commercial building Leipziger Straße in Frankfurt, the Landskron-Galerie Oppenheim and Rewe Wiesbaden.

“With the award of this mandate, we have now extended our cooperation with MEC to smaller locations in our portfolio. MEC has presented a convincing concept for the management of the portfolio and has repeatedly demonstrated its competence and efficiency in the cooperation to date,” explains Kathrin Andres, Head of Retail Germany at Nuveen Real Estate.

Including the new management mandates, MEC currently manages 25 retail properties for Nuveen Real Estate, including 14 property management locations and full mandates for eleven retail parks and hybrid malls.

Strong anchor tenants, free parking spaces
