The real estate company closes the first half of 2026 with 74 contracts associated with 84 locations and 40 new brands, of which 22 are local and 18 national. The sales of its operators grow by 6.6%.
The commercial activity in Carmila Spain centres continues to rise. During the first half of 2026, the company has signed 74 contracts linked to 84 locations and 65 brands, and incorporates 40 new brands into its portfolio, of which 22 are local brands and 18 national.
The figure that best summarises the moment is the growth of 6.6% in operator sales. This is complemented by footfall that has risen 170 basis points above the national index. Across the group, Carmila has signed 530 lease contracts, with an average positive reversion of 2.8% and a financial occupancy of 96.0%.
By sectors, Food and Beverage concentrates the most activity with 21 contracts, nearly 28% of the total. It is followed by Health and Beauty and Services, each with 15 contracts. There has also been movement in Home Equipment, Personal Equipment, and Culture, Gifts, Leisure and Multimedia.
Complementary business lines are growing strongly: Specialty Leasing, pop-ups, and Mall Media increase their combined revenue by 5.8% compared to the first half of 2025. Specifically, around 600 Specialty Leasing operations have been carried out, with an increase of 7.8%; 120 pop-up contracts have been signed, in line with the previous year; and Mall Media records growth close to 21%.
The General Director of Carmila Spain, Alberto Rodríguez, attributes these results to a more selective market:
“The first half leaves us with a clear reading: brands remain interested in physical space, but they examine each opening in more detail. They seek centres with traffic, visibility, and a well-identified consumer. Our job is to understand what each operator needs and what fits best in each centre, whether it is a long-term location, a temporary presence, or interested in developing a communication campaign.”
An example of this attraction capability is the opening of Primark in the Los Alfares centre, in Talavera de la Reina, which reinforces the weight of this asset in its area of influence.
In terms of assets, Carmila has 250 shopping centres in France, Spain, and Italy, valued at €6.7 billion at the end of 2025. Of these, 75 are in Spain, with 478,380 square metres of gross leasable area. The company is listed in compartment A of Euronext-Paris and is part of the SBF120 and CAC Mid 60 indices.
