- Immobiliare Grande Distribuzione SIIQ S.p.A. (IGD) is an Italian real estate company primarily engaged in the development, management, and leasing of retail properties, including shopping centers, hypermarkets, supermarkets, and retail parks. The company operates a diversified portfolio consisting of approximately 25 shopping malls and retail parks, 8 hypermarkets and supermarkets in Italy, and a portfolio of shopping centers across 13 cities in Romania. IGD also provides a range of real estate-related services such as promotion of newly opened, expanded, or restructured centers; rotation of existing retail tenants; and facility management services including security, cleaning, and ordinary maintenance.
Founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bologna, Italy, IGD was the first SIIQ (Società di Investimento Immobiliare Quotata), the Italian equivalent of a real estate investment trust. The company operates primarily in Italy and Romania, focusing on retail real estate assets serving institutional and retail clients. Its business model includes core real estate investment properties, asset management, and trading activities.
Recent major changes include the signing of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement with Edison Next in September 2025 to develop a large photovoltaic plant at the Tiburtino Shopping Center in Rome, underscoring IGD’s strategic commitment to sustainability and energy transition. In 2024, IGD completed the divestiture of non-core assets, including the sale of 8 hypermarkets, 3 supermarkets, and 2 shopping malls for approximately €258 million, as part of its 2025-2027 strategic business plan focused on portfolio optimization. The company continues to pursue asset disposals while enhancing operational efficiency and expanding its sustainability initiatives in retail real estate management. IGD’s portfolio had a market value around €1.7 billion at the end of 2024, reflecting its solid position in the retail real estate sector.
These efforts highlight IGD's focus on sustainable energy solutions, portfolio rationalization, and strengthening its retail real estate presence in Italy and Romania. The company remains listed on the STAR segment of Borsa Italiana, targeting the retail real estate market with a comprehensive offering of real estate ownership, leasing, and services expertise across its geographic footprint.
