“With this extraordinary mega-store by JD Sports, we are further differentiating the brand mix in Westfield HamburgÜberseequartier”, says Anna Laura Riemann, Portfolio Leasing Manager at Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield. “The fact that JD Sports will open a large-scale store in the upcoming flagship destination and implement its new, innovative store concept once again underlines the attractiveness and appeal of the destination. Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier is step by step becoming the top address for retailers, who want to offer flagship formats and special brand experiences in physical retail. We are already looking forward to the opening and the further strengthening of our strategic partnership with JD Sports.”
