DEGI acquires Tuscany factory outlet centre
5 Jul, 2006, Tuscany
DEGI Deutsche Gesellschaft für Immobilienfonds mbH has purchased the Valdichiana Outlet Village between Florence and Rome for DEGI INTERNATIONAL fund by a share deal. The investment volume totals approximately €88.5 million; the seller is the Italian property company, Gruppo Stilo,the development company of the Percassi Group, which will continue to handle management and letting of the centre.
The property is situated about 30 kilometres south of Arezzo directly on the A1 Milan-Rome motorway, and close to the Siena-Perugia highway. The total floor space, currently measuring 17,540 sq m, has all been let to prestigious international and national branded goods vendors. The shopping centre's architecture is attractive and contemporary; promenades, plus some small piazzas, contribute some typical elements of Tuscan townscapes. The centre's catchment area includes almost four million people. Jones Lang LaSalle and DLA Piper Rudnick have acted as the sole advisors to DEGI on the above transaction.
Valdichiana Outlet Village was developed by Gruppo Stilo as part of their extensive retail development programme in Italy and represents the Group's second Factory Outlet initiative, following the successful completion of the Franciacorta Outlet Village near Brescia in northern Italy. Gruppo Stilo was represented in this transaction by Cushman & Wakefield.
"We are confident that factory outlet centres will permanently change the structure of Italian retailing. The factors driving success here are size and professional centre management," says Bärbel Schomberg, Speaker of DEGI's Management Board. Although there have been autonomous factory outlet centres in Italy only since 2000, the country has developed into Europe's second-largest market in this segment, after the UK, with eleven centres currently up and running, most of them in Northern Italy. The population of Tuscany and neighbouring Umbria, the centre's catchment area, has above-average purchasing power compared to the rest of Italy. In addition, thanks to its location on the "Autostrada del Sole", the centre will attract a lot of tourists.
For 2006, DEGI is anticipating around 3.5 million visitors, and is aiming to expand the centre. By early 2007, the intention is to upsize the area to around 32,000 sq m, and to increase the number of shops from its current 65 to approximately 125. Customers will then have 3,000 parking slots available.
Factory Outlets in Tuscany
You'll need a car; otherwise arrange a tour through a travel agency that specializes in Tuscany
Prada Factory Outlet
68 Località LevanellaMontevarchi52025Tel: 39 055 91 901
Trust Italy's most exclusive label to make its outlet store, just outside the town of Montevarchi, almost impossible to find, with signage so minimal that it feels like a treasure hunt. To get there, head south from Florence on the A1 Autostrada and take the Val d'Arno exit. Bear right, following the signs for Montevarchi. At the large roundabout, exit to the left, continuing toward Arezzo. Pass through Montevarchi and into Località Levanella. Shortly after the village, you'll see an Agip gas station on your right. Take the left at the flashing light immediately after it, following the signs for the Zona Industriale and "I Pellettieri d'Italia"—the official name of this huge gray and black warehouse with a sawtooth roof. Even when you've found a place to park the car, you're not quite in: First, you have to take a number from the ticket machine, then wait your turn, perhaps over a pricey cappuccino at the Prada bar on the corner, where an electronic number counter keeps you posted on progress. The reward is men's and women's clothing and accessories from both the Prada and Miu Miu labels at a fraction of the usual price (men's suits, for example, can be picked up for a third of what you would pay in London or New York, sometimes less). The outlet is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Saturday and 2 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Sunday; smart shoppers know to avoid the weekend crush.

Expansion Announced for Centralia Factory Outlets
NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 17, 2005
The Prism Company
Major Renovation and Expansion Announced for Centralia Factory Outlets
Seattle (WA) May 17, 2005 - R. K. Getty Corp., the owners of the 201,815 s.f. Centralia Factory Outlets in Centralia, Washington, have announced plans for a major renovation and expansion designed to encourage travelers on Interstate 5 to spend more time at the center. "By incorporating some of the latest lifestyle-trends in retail development, as well as adding restaurants and services for travelers, we will extend the time they spend shopping during their trip," stated Sandra Smith, Director of Real Estate, for R.K. Getty Corp.
Planned upgrades include a new courtyard with seating, a fountain, and an Internet Cafe and Lounge for visitors. Major architectural renovations will include converting an existing building which has been enclosed, into 25,000 s.f. of new retail suites with exterior storefronts, sidewalk-scapes and front-door parking. Upgraded rest room facilities, and lighting and signage improvements are also planned for the center. An aggressive multi-tiered marketing and leasing plan focuses on attracting women shoppers from the local market and improving the tenant mix to appeal to the international tourist market.
"Centralia Factory Outlets benefits from an outstanding location and the best frontage on a major traffic corridor that I have ever seen - anywhere," stated Janet L. Grady, President of The PRISM Company, Inc., which specializes in the factory outlet industry and has been tapped to lead the leasing effort for Centralia Factory Outlets. "The center has a strong core tenancy of nationally-known tenants whose sales have continued to grow steadily over the past 10 years in this market. We plan to bring in new tenants who will serve the trade area, improve the restaurant-mix, and bring the amenities, signage, landscaping and common area furnishings up to state-of-the-art."
The center is located on Interstate 5 at Exit 82, which has long been recognized by travelers as the preferred stopping point on the trip between Seattle and Portland. The average daily traffic count at Exit 82 is 64,000 cars. Renate Johnson, Marketing and Property Manager, recently completed a year-long campaign targeting local and state officials which led to the renaming and signing of Exit 82 as Factory Outlet Way. "This added exposure and directional advertising on the Intersate. It has been very valuable to the center in increased traffic and sales," stated Johnson.
"Centralia Factory Outlets serves a retail market area of over 1.8 million people living with an easy hour's drive of the center," stated Grady. "Residential growth along the Interstate 5 corridor South of Seattle has been exploding, and the center has very strong loyalty from the local market of Centralia/Chehalis."
Centralia Factory Outlets features over 30 brand name outlet stores including Levi's Outlet, Quiksilver, Pfaltzgraff Outlet, Kitchen Collection, Farberware, Casual Corner Outlet, Easy Spirit, Dress Barn/Dress Barn Woman Outlet, L'eggs Hanes Bali Playtex, Van Heusen and G. H. Bass Outlet. The outlet center is located on Interstate 5 at Exit 82, Factory Outlet Way. The hours of operation are 9 - 8 p.m. Monday - Saturday, 10 - 6 Sunday.

Ten Tips to Tanger Bargains
1 Plan Ahead... Visit tangeroutlet.com
Before heading to Tanger for a fun-filled day of outlet shopping, we suggest that you explore tangeroutlet.com first. Our site will provide all of the information that you will need to make the .most of your Tanger shopping trip. In addition to center locations and store listings, the Tanger website also features coupons and special offers that you can print and use on your Tanger shopping excursion. While visiting tangeroutlet.com you can also sign up for Tanger's E-mail Update. Each month, we'll keep you informed about exclusive store discounts, special offers .and exciting promotional events taking place at Tanger Outlet Centers coast to coast.
2 Make A List Of Specific Items You Are Looking To Find
Some Tanger Outlet Centers can feature more than 100 stores. It can be exciting to have so many great brand names and designer fashions to choose from when shopping. Don't make the mistake of leaving without the one thing you came for in the first place. When shopping for other people, make a note of their sizes and favorite colors ahead of time.
3 Visit The Customer Service Center
Upon arrival, check in at the Tanger Customer Service Center or center office. Inquire about the availability of discount coupons, updated store information, current sales and promotions in progress. Make sure to pick up a center brochure which provides a map of the store locations if you didn't get one in advance. You can also sign-up to become a TangerClub member. Club members receive special discounts, exclusive offers, free gifts and much more. If you are a frequent Tanger shopper, than TangerClub is perfect for you.
4 Shop Smart To Avoid The Most Crowded Time Of The Day
Tanger Outlet Centers are open 7 days a week. Maximize shopping time by going during the week instead of weekends, when stores are less crowded. Also, shop early or late in the day to avoid possible mid-day heat.
5 The More The Merrier
Shopping with friends or family members is always more fun and can lead to a more efficient shopping trip. For instance, when one person is trying on clothes, the others can be getting additional items and acting as fashion consultant. Remember, it's always best to have someone you trust with you when trying on clothing. Also, if check out lines get long, one can stay in line while the others go on to scout the next shop. Additionally, you can take advantage of multiple discounts when shopping in a pair. If stores are offering a two-for-one special and you only need one, you .can team up with one of your outlet shopping partners to share the added savings.
6 Outlet Shopping Is Fun For The Family
A bargain hunting trip to Tanger is a wonderful family activity. Tanger Outlet Centers have something for everyone. Your family will discover everything from the latest brand name fashions and accessories to home décor, books, music CDs, toys, outdoor gear, and much, much more. After a day of outlet shopping, everyone will have fun comparing all of the great deals they found.
7 Dress For Comfort
Comfort is a key to having a fun-filled shopping experience. Wear your most comfortable shoes and wear clothing that is easy to get in and out of. This will make trying on new clothing much easier. Carrying a lightweight handbag will help lighten your load. Also, dress for the season's weather since many times you must go outdoors to get from one store to the next.
8 Check Return Policies
Before making your purchase, check the store's return policy. Contrary to what most people believe, outlet stores now offer return policies similar to other retail establishments. Some will accept returns with no questions asked and offer cash refunds, while others will give store credit. This makes it safe to buy gifts which can be returned or exchanged, if necessary.
9 Utilize The Sales Help
Most outlet stores have very helpful sales associates who can help point out sale items and help you find the specific items you want. They are also privy to information about anticipated new shipments, the store's best bargains and any special services offered such as the ability to ship your purchases home.
10 Relax. It's Guaranteed. So Have Fun!
Tanger Outlet Shopping is meant to be fun. Enjoy the experience of buying and saving direct from the manufacturer, and be confident that you are buying your favorite brand name designer fashions at the best advertised price. If you purchase any merchandise from any Tanger Outlet Center store and find it advertised for less anywherre else within 30 days, bring a copy of the advertisment and a copy of your dated Tanger store receipt to the Tanger center management office (during business hours) within 30 days of your purchase.

FAQs
How is Tanger pronounced?
Tanger is pronounced "Tang·er" - rhymes with "hanger" Where do I find information about Tanger Outlets including center locations, directions, store listings, shopping hours, phone numbers, etc.?

Burberry Sales Climb
Revenue climbed to 281 million pounds ($573 million) in the three months through September from 257 million pounds a year earlier, the London-based company said today. The stock fell as Burberry said it will spend about 4 million pounds more than planned this year to improve computer systems.
``This was a solid, although not flawless, trading update,'' Andrew Wade, an analyst at Seymour Pierce in London, wrote in an e-mailed note. He maintained his ``hold'' rating on the stock.
Chief Financial Officer Stacey Cartwright said accessories sales rose 35 percent in the fiscal first-half as the company introduced Knight bags for 1,595 pounds and Beaton styles for 1,095 pounds. Burberry opened 11 shops in the first half to add to revenue from its own outlets, which is more profitable than sales through wholesale customers such as department stores.
Burberry shares dropped 17.5 pence, or 2.6 percent, to 648.5 pence in London. The stock has added 20 percent in the past year, the fourth-biggest advance in the 14-member Bloomberg European Fashion Index, which has gained 11 percent.
Atlas Plan
The cost of installing new computer systems will be about 19 million pounds this year, more than Burberry's previous estimate of 15 million pounds, the statement shows. The company delayed introducing a factory warehouse system in September to avoid potential disruption of the large quantities of goods being handled, Cartwright said on a conference call.
Total costs of the so-called Atlas plan will remain at about 50 million pounds over three years, and about 20 million pounds will be added to profit as expected in fiscal 2008, Burberry said.
Cartwright said that the company is ``comfortable'' with analysts' estimates for earnings before interest and taxes of about 210 million pounds this year, before costs of the Atlas program, reiterating previous targets.
The second quarter sales figures were a ``positive surprise,'' said Nicole Quinn, an analyst at Morgan Stanley in London who gives Burberry stock an ``overweight'' recommendation. She singled out the 35 percent gain in accessories revenue.
Store Openings
Store openings expanded Burberry's selling space by about 12 percent in the first half as the company sought to catch up with Louis Vuitton, which has almost 50 percent more outlets. Burberry plans to open stores in Budapest, Copenhagen, Los Angeles and in Florence and Venice in Italy during the second half.
The U.K. luxury goods maker promoted more expensive outerwear styles, such as the studded trench coat singer Jennifer Lopez wore to Radio City Music Hall last month.
Cartwright said Burberry expects wholesale sales to rise in the ``mid-teens'' excluding exchange rates in the second half.
First-half sales rose 15 percent to 449 million pounds from 392 million pounds a year earlier, matching the median of five analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The performance was ``consistent with'' its annual profit forecast, the company said.
Revenue climbed 20 percent at the company's own stores and accounted for 45 percent of total sales, Burberry said. Wholesale revenue gained 14 percent. Store sales usually are stronger in the company's first and third quarters because wholesale orders are booked in its second and fourth quarters.
Revenue from licensing its name for use on goods such as perfume fell 3 percent in the half, according to Burberry, which outfitted Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole in 1911.
Cartwright said the company expects to spend between 20 million pounds and 30 million pounds buying back its own shares in the second half after repurchasing stock worth about 40 million pounds in the first six months.

Richmond Victoria Profile
Also on Swan Street and Bridge Road you can find a range of eateries from restaurants to cafes, many offering a genuine taste of Greece.
Nearby Victoria Street is known as Little Saigon and is the heart of Melbourne’s Vietnamese community. The long stretch of eateries, bakeries, butchers, fishmongers and grocers starts at Hoddle Street and extends to the Yarra River in nearby Abbotsford. But don’t expect white linen tablecloths and hovering waiters – Victoria Street is about the hustle and bustle of fast, fresh and exceptional Asian food at a bargain price. Wander through the Asian groceries or stop for Vietnamese snacks including crisp rice paper rolls or a steaming bowl of pho.
Victoria Bitter and Fosters beer buffs can take a tour through the Carlton & United Breweries’ brewhouse in Abbotsford.
How to get thereTram: Number 70 from Flinders Street to Swan Street or number 109 from Bourke Street to Victoria Street, number 48 or 75 tram from Flinders Street to Bridge Road.Train: From Flinders Street Station to Richmond StationTravelling time: 10 minutes
