MAB and Sonae Sierra initiated their first joint venture in Germany in 2011 to develop an innovative shopping center in Solingen. Both partners are equally committed to 50% in the new established joint venture company Solingen Shopping Center GmbH.
Solingen is known internationally as “city of blades”.
The new shopping center will arise in a very favourable town centre location. With the construction of the center, the former Karstadt area and its surroundings will again be transformed into an attractive section of town. This will be realised through architectural shaping.
An attractive mix of international and national brands as well as local providers will entice people to discover, shop and enjoy themselves.
The Solingen Shopping Center is not only innovative, it is also green. The concept is distinguished by numerous ecologically, economically and socially valuable components, for example the collection of rainwater for use in the building’s system or the use of environmentally sound building materials.
The shopping center is the first new building in Solingen that follows DGNB standards and will be certified with the DGNB Gold stamp of quality.
