“With the creation of the new position of Director, we are focusing on the qualitative and quantitative further development of IPH, particularly with regard to the strategic development of the entire group of companies. From a very personal point of view, I am also looking forward to building on the very successful collaboration with Christian Zimmermann at Unibail-Rodamco Germany and mfi Management Immobilien AG, where I have come to appreciate him both professionally and personally,” explains Lars Jähnichen, Managing Director of the IPH Group.
“With his many years of expertise in center management and his in-depth understanding of asset management and business development, Christian Zimmermann is exactly the right person to further strengthen our center management, drive forward innovative concepts and consolidate the IPH Group’s positioning in the market,” adds Marcus Eggers, Managing Director of IPH Centermanagement.
Christian Zimmermann joined mfi Management Immobilien AG in 2008 and began his successful career at the “Regensburg Arcaden”, where he worked as deputy center manager. In 2011, he took over the management of the “Pasing Arcaden”, the market launch of which was honored with the ICSC Award under his leadership.
In the following years, Zimmermann further expanded his expertise and, as Head of Shopping Center Management at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Germany, was responsible for up to 23 shopping centers with around 960 million visitors per year. He was instrumental in the implementation of new corporate standards and the repositioning of numerous shopping centers.
