2011 European Shopping Centre Awards Finalists Announced
ICSC Europe has announced the finalists for its upcoming 2011 European Shopping Centre Awards. Eighteen centers from eight countries have been shortlisted.
Property EU has the details, including the full list of finalists:
“Awards Jury Chair, Biljana Pehrsson, Deputy CEO & Head of Real Estate at East Capital Private Equity, said: ‘We are very pleased with the number and quality of entries this year. Despite a poor market we received 29 entries from 17 countries, including for the first time Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia, Croatia and Estonia.
‘It is a pleasure to see good architecture, concept and tenant mix and a lot of focus on the customer. All these projects were started before the economic meltdown and their leasing was carried out during the worst of the recession. All the entrants highlighted the difficulties of leasing in such a difficult climate but their leasing teams should be congratulated. They have done a very good job, negotiating hard for the good tenants that make their centres stand out.'”
