Maxime Xantippe, managing partner at CB Richard Ellis Belgium said: 'Investors see retail property as good defensive assts, with out-of-town retail gaining price-conscious shoppers. While investment activity in other market segments might be slow, in 2009, investment volumes in retail property are expected to stabilise next year.'
