August Debouzy advised Ingka Centres on the acquisition (i) from Hammerson and Axa, of the Italie 2 shopping center located Place d’Italie in the 13th district of Paris, (ii) from Hammerson, of Italik, the high-street extension of the Italie 2 shopping center, and (iii) from Axa, of the Apollo office complex neighbouring the Italie 2 shopping center.
