Premiere in Germany: DeFacto launches in Berlin
Turkish fashion brand DeFacto opens its first flagship store in Germany at Tauentzienstrasse 7 in Berlin. The previous tenant at the location was the shoe retailer Deichmann. We advised on the rental and acted as intermediary.
Turkey’s second-largest clothing retailer moves into a 1,400-square-metre store across three floors in Berlin – an expansive statement for its market entry in Germany. DeFacto is already present online with women’s, men’s and children’s fashion via online retailers such as Zalando or About you in Germany.
‘DeFacto has achieved good sales in Germany with Zalando’, reports Maria Roß-Capotorto from our Berlin office. ‘The flagship store in Berlin is a milestone for DeFacto on its way to tapping into Western Europe’. ‘The current situation offers new tenants good start-up opportunities and availability in locations that were otherwise hard to come by’, adds Christoph Schulz, Managing Partner and Leasing Manager. The attractive location with a high number of tourist visitors benefits from its proximity to KaDeWe, Zara, Peek & Cloppenburg and the Berlin Lego store.
