What ODOS Group does

ODOS Group is an Italian retail real estate management firm headquartered in Novara that provides comprehensive management, marketing, and technical services to shopping centers, retail parks, factory outlets, and leisure centers. Founded in 1994, the group is structured as three legal entities — Odos Servizi S.r.l. (core shopping center operations including commercialization, lease management, technical management, and marketing), Odos S.r.l. (property management under mandate without representation), and Atrium S.r.l. (commercial condominium administration) — supplemented by specialty sub-brands including Assist (specialty leasing with 750+ positions), Odos Blue (energy efficiency and sustainability), and Odos Hub (supplier network platform). The group is led by CEO and co-founder Luca Maria Verpelli.

The group manages more than 65 shopping centers, over 1.5 million square meters of Gross Lettable Area, and more than 2,500 shops across 14 Italian regions, supported by four regional offices in Novara (HQ), Milan, Vicenza, and Catania. Its technology stack centers on proprietary management software organized around Business Process Management workflows tailored to the shopping center market, complemented by a 24/7 digital archive, a reserved web portal for tenants and property owners, the Odos Hub supplier platform, and the ELYX cloud platform that powers AI-driven energy monitoring within the Odos Blue division.

ODOS serves a B2B client base of private property owners, real estate funds, SGR (asset management companies), and large retail operators — including Carrefour Italia (specialty leasing across approximately 200 stores) and Unicoop Firenze (32 stores, 14 shopping centers in Tuscany). Revenue is generated through management fees for comprehensive shopping center operations, professional services for lease administration (rent invoicing, ISTAT adjustments, tax registration), transaction-based specialty leasing, energy efficiency services under Odos Blue, and commercial condominium administration through Atrium. Pricing is structured via individual Service Level Agreements rather than published rate cards, with service charges exceeding 40 million euros managed annually across the portfolio.
