International Properties
Simon Property Group’s fundamental approach to international investment has been to partner
with established and successful real estate companies with a demonstrated knowledge of local
markets and practices. We believe that the optimum way to create value in international investments
is through the execution of new development projects and the redevelopment of existing assets. We
add significant value to each of our international ventures with our development, leasing, management
and financing expertise.
Simon Property Group’s initial international investment was made in 1998. Today, we own an interest in
51 European shopping centers; eight Premium Outlet Centers in Japan; and one Premium Outlet Center in
both South Korea and Mexico.
