IMMOFINANZ Group: Maritimo Shopping Center development project
receives CIJ award for 'Best New Shopping Center Development'
19.12.2011 / 10:05
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On 8 December 2011 IMMOFINANZ Group's Maritimo Shopping Center project
received the CIJ Award for the 'Best New Shopping Center Development'. This
facility, which is located in Constanta, Romania, opened in October 2011
and registered 230,000 visitors alone on the first weekend. It is fully
rented and has already gained a reputation as the most important shopping
and entertainment center in the region.
Each year the real estate magazine 'Construction&Investment Journal'
presents the CIJ Award, a much-admired prize among branch specialists, for
projects in Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary. In
Romania, this year's award in the category 'Best New Shopping Center' was
presented to IMMOFINANZ Group. The independent jury chose the Maritimo
Shopping Center development project over four competitors in a two-step
evaluation process. The Maritimo Shopping Center is one of Romania's most
modern shopping malls and, within a short period of time, has established a
position with local residents as a popular shopping and entertainment
facility. More than 130 stores offer an attractive mix of food products,
fashion, sport, electronics, leisure and gastronomy on over 50,000 sqm.
'Over the past year our team did an outstanding job in completing the
Maritimo Shopping Center in less than 18 months to prepare for the opening
this autumn. We took over complete ownership of this project, which was
originally planned in 2010 as a joint venture, during a difficult phase. I
am therefore particularly pleased to see that our efforts and high quality
standards were recognised by an independent jury with the CIJ Award for
'Best New Shopping Center Development',' commented Eduard Zehetner, Chief
Executive Officer of IMMOFINANZ Group. 'This prize also reinforces our
decision to further expand the development department we established in
autumn 2010 and to increase our focus on these types of projects in the
future.'
The Maritimo Shopping Center and the recently opened Silesia City Center
extension in Poland are two of the most important development projects
completed by IMMOFINANZ Group this year. The company is currently working
on 28 other development projects. The next planned completion is the
GoodZone shopping center in Moscow, which is scheduled to open in 2012.
