About Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield SE

Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield SE (URW) is a leading listed commercial real estate company focused on the development, investment, ownership and operation of high-traffic retail and leisure destinations. The Group operates shopping centres, retail assets and broader urban destinations that are designed to attract consumers, retailers and communities in prime city locations. According to the company, its network generates more than 900 million customer visits annually, underlining the scale and quality of its portfolio. The current Group was created through the merger of Unibail-Rodamco and Westfield Corporation, completed in June 2018, forming a global leader in commercial real estate with strong exposure to Europe and the United States. Unibail has been listed in Paris since 1972 and Rodamco in Amsterdam since 1983; URW is now listed on Euronext Paris and Euronext Amsterdam under ticker URW, with ISIN FR0013326246. URW’s business model rests on three main pillars: development, investment and operations. The core of the portfolio remains retail real estate, complemented by offices, exhibition venues and convention-related assets in selected markets. The company’s strategy is to transform its assets into experiential destinations, combining shopping, dining, entertainment, services and events in order to drive footfall, tenant productivity and long-term asset value. Geographically, URW is present across two continents and 11 countries, with a portfolio that includes 66 shopping centres and 45 flagship assets, according to its corporate materials. Its footprint is especially strong in major European cities and in the United States, where the Westfield brand is a key commercial and real estate franchise. This international platform helps diversify rental income streams and gives the Group exposure to some of the world’s most resilient urban consumer markets. The company has also pursued a selective disposal and portfolio repositioning strategy to strengthen the balance sheet and fund higher-return projects. In its H1 2024 results, URW confirmed full-year AREPS guidance of €9.65-€9.80, pointing to solid operating momentum in the first half. The report also noted that 96% of the portfolio was independently appraised as of June 30, 2024, and that liquidity covered the next 12 months of debt repayments. A notable feature of URW is its sustainability-led strategy. Through its Better Places plan, the Group targets net zero for scopes 1 and 2 by 2030 and net zero across all scopes by 2050, while positioning itself as a platform for the regeneration of cities and the transformation of retail. In short, URW is not just a landlord: it is an asset operator and developer seeking to combine prime-location real estate, consumer experience and capital discipline.
