Serpenoise, the main retail street of Metz, it benefits from 9 entrances that
are directly connected to main shopping streets in Metz. The complex is
currently anchored by FNAC and Simply Market (the supermarket formula of Group
Auchan). It offers in total 105 different shops over 3 floors. Saint-Jacques
tenant mix is composed of shops (11,473 m2), Medium Sized Units (2,700 m2) and
Large Sized Units (6,827 m2). The current financial vacancy rate is 3.8%, that
will be covered by a 6 to 12 months rental guarantee depending on each unit. As

attracts 13 million visitors per year.
Competition is mainly positioned outside the city and consists of periphery
shopping centres anchored by a hypermarket and a small (17 shops) to medium size

Avenue is located to the North of the city. Corio expects that with its hands-on
management it can enhance the performance of the centre by transforming it into
