Unibail-Rodamco S.E. Shopping Malls

Its stock ticker symbol is UL for the CAC 40, ULA on the Dutch AEX, and ULNV on the Euronext.

UL began in 1968 as a finance leasing company formed by the Worms & Cie Group. In the 1990s Unibail began buying up distressed real estate properties, including a 23% share of Les Quatre Temps, a mall in La Defense France, in 1992. It steadily grew its ownership of retail and office properties in France.

Its president and Chief Executive Office is Guillaume Poitrinal. Its current portfolio if valued at 22.3 billion euros. It became a European company (Societas Europaea) in May 2009.

Unibail stopped being a finance company in 2002, and became a France SIIC in 2003. It was added to France's main stock index, the CAC 40 in 2007. That year it also bought Rodamco Europe N.V., a company based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and which owned shopping malls in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Spain. That made it Unibail-Rodamco.

It is also in the Dutch AEX, DJ EURO Stoxx 50 and Euronext 100 indexes.

Most of UL's properties are shopping malls in twelve European countries. Most of them are high quality malls located in downtown areas where they get a lot of foot traffic, because they're close to public transportation -- such as Forum des Halles in downtown Paris.
