Austria's most modern shopping center opens in Vöcklabruck

Varena in Vöcklabruck has opened its doors on Wednesday, August 25th 2010. It is the 24th mall of SES Spar European Shopping Centers. The company has invested €82 million in this location and created 750 jobs. It is the single largest private investment ever made in Vöcklabruck.

With its exceptional architectonic presence the shopping center presents 80 attractive shops, shop-in-shop-concepts, restaurants and service providers throughout its 32,000 m². The grand opening of Varena is the largest shopping center opening in Austria for 2010.

Varena has been fully leased for months. Only the very best international, national and regional merchants have taken up occupancy in the shopping center.

The shopping center also demonstrates a good carbon footprint. An innovative and environmentally friendly energy concept utilizes groundwater-pumps to both heat and cool the building

The new and modern world-class shopping center Varena was built over a period of 29 months. SES is the developer, constructor, investor and operator of the shopping center. The renowned architectural firm ATP Architekten & Ingenieure designed the center. The mall was constructed as a joint venture between the companies Alpine, Strabag and Dywidag. The neighboring property owners were kept informed about the development of the shopping center from the very beginning.

The architecture of the shopping center was developed with the motto "Colorful Shopping in the Lake Region" in mind. The Salzkammergut and its many lakes serve as the backdrop for this beautiful location.
