Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) currently operates 21 assets in the German and Austrian region: 19 in Germany, eight of which are in the Group’s own portfolio, and two in Austria. Last year, a total of 714 rental contracts were closed for these 21 assets. The average vacancy rate for the core locations in the portfolio around Westfield Centro in Oberhausen, Ruhr Park in Bochum, as well as Westfield Shopping City Süd in Vösendorf in Greater Vienna and Westfield Donau Zentrum in Vienna, is less than two percent.

New highlight at Forum Hanau: on Friday, February 23, 2024, the renowned European retailer Pepco opened its doors for the first time on the second floor of the shopping center.

Since February 24, Schuh Bode has been enriching the fashion offering at QUARREE with a wide range of brand shoes for men, women and children on over 500 sq m of retail space. Family-run for five generations, the Hamburg shoe company fits in perfectly with the tenant mix of the center in the middle of Wandsbek.

“In the future, shopping centres will look different to how they do today, but if they lean into the change, they can be just as successful as they have been in the past,” states Thomas Mark, President of MK Illumination, and Member of the ACROSS Advisory Board, in the latest “Industry Outlook 2024”.
