Strong growth in first-half 2022 results, bolstered by record rental activity

  • Finance

July 21, 2022

This excellent first half was marked by numerous operational successes across all activities, in particular thanks to 101,000 m² of new office leases signed and a stronger than expected recovery of the hotel industry. Covivio thus posted strong growth of financial results and confirmed its 2022 outlook. Despite an uncertain economic and financial environment, the rental dynamic of our markets, the relevance of our strategy focused on centrality, prime assets and customer culture, and the solidity of our governance, are long-term foundations to continue to generate value upon.
