| New shopping gallery opens in Leverkusen  A glass rotunda visible from great distances is the architectural flagship of the new Rathaus-Galerie in Leverkusen, Germany, which opens on Wednesday, February 24, 2010 after a construction period of two years. In the new inner-city shopping gallery, around 120 stores, cafés, restaurants and service providers present a retail concept tailor-made for Leverkusen. Distributed on three levels, the center has a total sales area of approx. 22, 600sqm. All shop areas have already been leased out completely for months. Above the shopping center is a two-storey town-hall rotunda located with approx. 5,000sqm for the city's administration. This €200 million project was realized by the investor Credit Suisse Asset Management Immobilien Kapitalanlagegesellschaft mbH and Germany's ECE, which will manage the center in the long run. ECE anticipates approx. 30,000 visitors a day. In the catchment area of the center, which also provides 500 parking spaces, live approx. 420,000 inhabitants.write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
