Atrium European Real Estate Limited ("Atrium" or the "Company") (VSE/Euronext: ATRS), one of the leading real estate companies focused on shopping centre investment, management and development in Central and Eastern Europe, announces that it has secured a new pre-let at its 75,000 sqm Atrium Felicity shopping centre development in Lublin, Poland. As a result of a 1,454 sqm pre-let to leading Polish home appliances and consumer electronics retailer, EURO RTV AGV, Atrium Felicity is 73% pre-let, with over a year to go before the centre's expected opening in late 2013. This deal follows shortly after a successful cornerstone ceremony last week, to officially celebrate the start of construction, a 12,500 sqm pre-let to Leroy Merlin in September and the pre-sale of a 19,700 sqm hypermarket at the site to a major international food retailer in June. Atrium has also secured pre-lets with many other strong retail brands including H&M, Reserved, Mohito, House, and Intersport, as well as Zara, Zara Home, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull & Bear, Oysho and Massimo Dutti from the Inditex Group. Commenting, Rachel Lavine, CEO of Atrium said: "Following so soon after the pre-let we agreed with Leroy Merlin last month, the new lease to EURO RTV AGV demonstrates the positive letting momentum we are achieving at this new development and, together with the strong line up of other retail brands we have brought to this exciting new centre, it also underlines the attractiveness of Lublin Felicity to retailers."
