Following the insolvency of the Austrian Signa Group, the Globus shares are to be sold soon. According to the Sonntagszeitung newspaper, the co-owner Central Group from Thailand will soon submit an offer for the Globus on Schweizergasse in Zurich.
Globus' main building directly on Zurich's Bahnhofstrasse is attracting interest from the Thais "due to the strategic importance of the property", the newspaper quotes from Signa Prime Selection's redevelopment report from mid-July.
However, the Central Group is said to have no interest in four other Globus properties. According to the restructuring report, the smaller locations are to be sold. The sales process for the store on Spitalgasse in Bern, for example, has been prepared. The Central Group is now awaiting approval for this.
Loose negotiations are currently underway for the other smaller properties. With the exception of the construction site in Basel: the building there will only be completed and sold at the end of the construction period in 2026. In addition, negotiations on a possible takeover of the operational Globus business are still ongoing.
