S IMMO was among the evening’s winners three times at the presentation of the 13th EuropaProperty SEE Real Estate Awards end of April in Bucharest, Romania. The listed company took home the awards for Extension/Refurbishment of the Year, Best Future Project and Retail Developer of the Year. The refurbishment of the Sun Plaza shopping centre was selected as the Extension/Refurbishment of the Year, the office project The Mark was named Best Future Project and the company itself was honoured as Retail Developer of the Year.
“The fact that we received awards in three different categories not only makes us extremely happy, but more importantly serves as a well appreciated confirmation of the success of our daily work. Our clearly defined strategy is to create value on a lasting basis, and I think that the two projects that were honoured — our office project The Mark and our shopping centre Sun Plaza — are a perfect reflection of that. After eight years we have already crossed the 100 million visitor mark at Sun Plaza, which is another nice accomplishment and shows that we made the right decisions in the past,” commented Friedrich Wachernig, member of S IMMO AG’s Management Board.
The EuropaProperty SEE Real Estate Awards honour and celebrate the emerging real estate markets in the region, their best projects and outstanding achievements by the companies that are involved. Each year, the winners in the individual categories are selected by a jury of prominent experts.
The Sun Plaza shopping centre in Bucharest is one of the largest development projects in the history of S IMMO AG. The renovation work on the total of 20,000 sqm of revamped space was recently concluded. Since the renovation brands such as Intimissimi, Calzedonia, Forever 21 and Terranova have locations at the centre, which now offers more than 170 shops in total.
The office project THE MARK is located in Bucharest near the city’s central business district at a site that is easy to reach by car. The building is only a few minutes from the city centre by foot. The nearby metro station and several tram stops are only a minute away. The elegant 15-storey office tower with a six-storey base will offer around 25,500 sqm of lettable space when it is completed.
