«Zlote Tarasy in Poland, developed by ING Real Estate, was named 'Retail
Destination of the Year' at the prestigious World Retail Awards
during the annual World Retail Congress in Barcelona.
Voted for by a grand jury of some of the world's most respected
retailers and senior industry experts, the Retail Destination of the
year category is designed to celebrate the street, mall or city that
demonstrates the most attractive retail mix, growing footfall and a
commitment to innovation. According to the jury, ING Real Estate
succeeded in creating in Warsaw not only a centre for high end
target groups, but a place to be in Warsaw, a destination where all
people enjoy spending time.
Zlote Tarasy, designed by The Jerde Partnership, triumphed over
fierce competition and was awarded the prize for its pivotal role in
delivering a truly wide ranging offer of retail, leisure and offices
in the heart of Warsaw, combined with exceptional attention to
detail, including a 6,000 sq m mini urban park complete with water
features.
Menno Maas, CEO Development of ING Real Estate, said: "We are
particularly proud to receive this award because it reflects the
views of the retail sector itself and is a superb endorsement of our
work in creating retail environments that meet the needs of today's
retailers."
