What Carmila does

Owns shopping centres anchored by Carrefour hypermarkets across France, Spain and Italy.

Owns the gallery of shops attached to Carrefour hypermarkets and collects rent from those shops, relying on the hypermarket's footfall. Rents are indexed to inflation through lease clauses, and smaller fees come from temporary stalls and advertising. Created in 2014 when Carrefour pooled its mall assets with investors.
