About Corio
Corio is a retail property company. Our core business is to create Favourite Meeting Places through selecting, developing and operating shopping centres in Europe. Our vision is to create places where people like to meet and return to every time of the day, for anything and in any mood.
Corio believes shopping centres can and should perform an important social role, a meeting place where individuals can relax, socialise, feel at home and be inspired. We are convinced that the creation of appealing and successful shopping centres, when managed properly, will generate greater economic activity and will give us the opportunity to expand our business within our shopping centres. In doing so, we recognize the importance of being alert to the changing demands and habits of people and adapt quickly. To be successful, we believe our centres should be sustainable in every respect: conceptually, aesthetically, socially, environmentally and financially. We create to adapt.
Corio has operations in six countries: The Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Turkey.
