APPOINTMENT OF NEW CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Jersey, 4 October 2011. Atrium European Real Estate Limited ("Atrium" or the
"Company") (VSE/Euronext: ATRS), one of the leading real estate companies
focused on shopping centre investment, management and development in Central and
Eastern Europe, announces the appointment of David Doyle as chief financial
officer, with effect from 1 January 2012.  Mr Doyle will replace Robert Bolier
who is leaving the Company to pursue other business interests.  Robert will
remain with the Company until after Mr Doyle's arrival to ensure an orderly
handover.

David Doyle joins the Company from Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD), where he has been
European chief financial officer since July 2009.  At Prologis Mr Doyle was a
member of the European Executive Committee and led a team of over 100 finance
professionals across 10 countries.  In this role, Mr Doyle held CFO
responsibility for three separate ownership structures and balance sheets with
total assets under management of over E7 billion including: the European
subsidiaries of Prologis, a S&P500 REIT; Prologis European Properties, a
Euronext (Amsterdam) quoted open-ended property fund (Euronext: PEPR); and
Prologis European Properties Fund II, a non-listed open-ended property fund.  
Prior to Prologis, Mr Doyle was chief financial officer at Colliers CRE plc
(AIM: COL), one of the leading commercial real estate consultancy groups in the
UK.  At Colliers CRE he was responsible for all finance and operational risk
management affairs, as well as working alongside the group's chief executive to
develop and implement strategy, which included capital raising and acquisitions.


Previously, Mr Doyle was the chief financial officer and an executive board
director at Egg plc, one of the UK's leading internet banks.  From 1996 to 2003,
Mr Doyle held various senior finance roles at Prudential plc, most latterly head
of corporate finance, with responsibility for all group level mergers,
acquisitions, dispositions and associated strategic activities.  His
achievements included leading the NYSE listing and concurrent £200 million U.S.
equity raising for Prudential plc.

Mr Doyle is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia and
he holds a Bachelor of Business degree from the Royal Melbourne Institute of
Technology.


Commenting, Rachel Lavine, CEO of Atrium said:  "Having undergone a significant
amount of restructuring over the past few years, Atrium has reached a transition
point where the focus is now firmly on growth.  David's extensive experience in
both the real estate sector and of capital markets make him the ideal candidate
to see us through this next phase of Atrium's evolution and into the future.  It
therefore gives me great pleasure to welcome him to the Company.  

"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Robert for all of his work
in restructuring and stabilising the Company since his appointment in January
2009.  His contribution in putting Atrium on such a stable platform for growth
has been invaluable and I wish him all the best for the future."
