| “Freccia Rossa” to be opened on April 22 Sonae Sierra, the international shopping center specialist, announced that April 22nd will mark the official date of opening of "Freccia Rossa" shopping center in Brescia. The new centre has a shopping and leisure area of 30,000 m². As a joint venture between Sonae Sierra (50%), AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corp (40%) and the Brescia-based company Coimpredil (10%), it will be the largest urban shopping centre in Italy. As its name suggests, the architecture of "Freccia Rossa" will pay tribute to the famous "Mille Miglia" car race, which has made Brescia the heart of the motorcycle industry. "Freccia Rossa" is an innovative centre not only in terms of architecture but also of concept, thanks to its attention to the environmental issue. Last December, in fact, "Freccia Rossa" obtained the ISO 14001 environmental certification related to the management of the construction phase. This certification, issued by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA), is the result of the implementation of the best environmental practices during the centre's construction phase. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Construction News :: home page |
