Nhood, more specialised leasing. Agreement with Focus for 10 centres
- Information
Important agreement in Poland between Nhood and Focus Estate Fund, an international investment group specialising in retail, based in Luxembourg.
In the Eastern European republic, Focus’s most important market, the French company will provide specialised leasing services for a total portfolio of 10 shopping centres owned by the counterparty.
Focus: a presence in four countries, including Italy
Focus currently owns 15 assets in four countries, covering approximately 220.000 sqm of GLA and with a managed value of around 200 million euros.
The Luxembourg group also operates in Great Britain (2 shopping centre), the Czech Republic (a further 2) and Italy, where it made its debut in September 2025 by acquiring Bari Max Shopping Village from Pradera (19.000 sqm of usable space).
The one-year agreement, signed on 5 June, concerns the temporary leasing by Nhood of retail spaces and outdoor areas owned by Focus throughout Poland.
The services offered will help optimise the commercialisation of the properties entrusted to Nhood and enhance their retail offering.

Why Poland is important to Nhood
Focus explained that it chose the French operator thanks to the excellent results achieved in the European market, where over the past two years, through Nhood’s services, specialised leasing has generated an increase of 34% in revenues on behalf of clients.
Nhood, moreover, continues to expand in Poland, a market that, according to studies by Bnp Paribas Real Estate—also by virtue of very attractive price levels—remains a major target for international investors, with an allocated value 2025 of 3,98 billion euros, across all asset classes.
In detail, Nhood’s activities will cover the commercial sites Sosnowiec Plaza, Rybnik Plaza, Ruda Śląska Plaza, Galeria Mosty, Galeria Sandecja, Turawa Park, Ferio Legnica, Galeria Sandomierz, Shopping Park Eden and Galeria Awangarda.
Specialised leasing for the future of shopping centres
“The agreement with Focus confirms that specialised leasing is becoming a key element of shopping centre strategy,” says Dorota Suchodolska, retail development director of Nhood Polska. “Our objective will be to propose solutions that increase the appeal of the assets covered by the agreement, to generate additional revenues while meeting the needs of both our clients and all the brands interested in Poland.”
Specialist leasing is an independent business line offered by Nhood in numerous countries. In Italy, the activity is conducted through the specialised international platform Eleaseloop.
In 2025, this business segment grew by 7% and today, through the specialty leasing division, the multinational manages more than 2.500 spaces across 7 European geographies, working with 3.000 brands.
The French group has a total of 1.600 employees managing assets worth 17,3 billion euros across almost 1.000 locations in our continent and Africa.
