IMMOFINANZ Group: Silesia City Center extension receives award as
'Extended/Refurbished Project of the Year'

---------------------------------------------------------------------
On 9 February 2012 IMMOFINANZ Group received the 'Extended/Refurbished
Project of the Year' award from EuropaProperty for the second phase of the
Silesia City Center. This annex, which was developed directly by the Group,
opened in October 2011 and has since enjoyed great popularity, with 300,000
visitors counted in the first week alone. With 86,000 sqm of selling space
and a total of 310 shops, the Silesia City Center is one of the top five
shopping centers in Poland.
The CEE Retail Real Estate Awards were presented this year for the fourth
time by the portal EuropaProperty. On 9 February 2012 in Warsaw, well-known
retailers and investors from nine countries were honoured in over 20
categories. The award for the 'Extended/Refurbished Project of the Year'
went to IMMOFINANZ Group: the Silesia City Center extension convinced the
jury of distinguished experts.
The opening in October 2011 was a huge success, not only because of a
personal appearance by Paris Hilton: the Silesia City Center is the largest
and most modern shopping center in Katowice, the heart of the economic
region of Upper Silesia. This facility, which originally provided space for
250 shops on 66,000 sqm, was enlarged by the IMMOFINANZ Group's commercial
development team to add 20,000 sqm with space for an additional 60 stores.
Together with the Maritimo Shopping Center, which opened last October in
Romania and was recognised with the renowned CIJ Award, the Silesia City
Center extension is one of the most important development projects
completed by IMMOFINANZ Group in 2011.
'The extension of the Silesia City Center proved to be an excellent
decision: high visitor frequency, the successful completion of refinancing
in November - and now this award as the 'Extended/Refurbished Project of
the Year'. The EuropaProperty Award Gala was attended, just as every year,
by all well-known names in the branch. That makes me even more pleased to
see IMMOFINANZ Group as one of this year's winners', commented Eduard
Zehetner, Chief Executive officer of IMMOFINANZ Group. 'With the Silesia
City Center we have set a course for Poland that we intend to continue in
the future: our strategy calls for the development of high quality shopping
centers, and our next project of this type will be realised in Lublin.'
