| Multi opens Centrum Galerie in Dresden Multi's Centrum Galerie on the Prager Straße opened its doors in the baroque city of Dresden – the "Florence of the North". Here Multi Development, a subsidiary of Multi Corporation, a leading company in Europe in the field of developing, owning and operating quality shopping centres, offices and mixed-use projects, has realized a shopping gallery comprising a total retail area of 62,000 m² spread over four floors with around 1,000 parking spaces. Centrum Galerie focuses on upmarket offerings and major brands to support the Prager Straße, which is already the most important shopping street in Dresden, regaining its big city shopping boulevard characteristic, whilst simultaneously creating direct access to the old part of Dresden. Centrum Galerie has a frontage of around 180 metres facing the Prager Straße and its exceptionally spacious entrance area catches the flows of passers-by. In July 2006, T+T Design, Multi's in-house masterplan designers issued a competition relating to the design of the facade that was won by the architectural office of Peter Kulka. The Dresden architect's design integrates the intake of pedestrian flows as well as incorporating the existing building alignment on the Prager Straße. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
