- Risks linked to the COVID-19 pandemic (temporary administrative closures of shops, rent waivers, staggered payments).
- Risks linked to the competitive landscape and the rise of e-commerce (competition from retail premises on the outskirts of towns, large regional shopping centers, and the impact of e-commerce on demand for local commercial spaces).
- Risks linked to the estimated value of assets (external and internal factors affecting valuation, potential impairment of investment properties, non-compliance with financing ratios, decrease in security value).
- Risks linked to acquisitions (over-valuation of assets, unanticipated negative changes in marketability, inaccurate estimates of expenditures, hidden defects, disagreements with vendors).
- Risks linked to tenant insolvency (delays or defaults in rent payments, financial difficulties affecting tenants).
- Risks related to SELECTIRENTE's legal form, Articles of Association, and organization (control by Sofidy, Tikehau Capital, etc., potential difficulties in changing control without agreement of Tikehau Capital).
- Tax risk linked to the status of French Listed Real Estate Investment Company (SIIC) (non-compliance with conditions and obligations, exceeding the threshold of 60% of share capital or voting rights).
- Risks linked to the regulatory environment of leases and their non-renewal (restrictive legislation on commercial leases, potential rent falling below market rent, risks of non-renewal, regulatory changes).
- Regulatory risk linked to the ownership of commercial real estate assets (compliance with regulations on anti-money laundering, commercial urban planning, urban planning, construction, public health, environment, safety, and commercial leases).
- Risks linked to compliance with laws and regulations relating to the environment and public health (environmental and public health laws and regulations, potential additional expenses due to stricter standards, risks of asbestos, lead, legionella, soil pollution, flooding, or collapse).
- Risks linked to interest rate levels (increase in interest rates affecting portfolio valuation, results, and cost of financing future investments).
- Liquidity risk (access to financial resources, potential limitations on acquisition policy).
- Climate risks (increase in extreme weather events, disruption of business continuity, deterioration of real estate assets, rising temperatures affecting consumer habits and mobility).
