la Nota di ICSC:
The
International Council of Shopping Centers Europe (ICSC Europe) has
announced the winners of the 2007 European Shopping Centre Awards.
Every
year, ICSC Europe presents awards to the best new and refurbished or
extended retail developments in Europe. Acknowledged to be the
most prestigious awards within the Industry, the 2007 Awards were
presented at the 32nd ICSC Europe Conference on 26 April 2007
in Warsaw, Poland.
New
this year is the ReSource recognition, recognizing the industry’s
commitment to sustainable development. With the already established
ReStore recognition for Public Private Partnerships, the ICSC Awards
lead the industry in identifying trends and progress in retail
development.
The
Awards Jury consists of senior international figures within the
shopping centre industry and any retail or entertainment project
opened or newly refurbished or extended between July 1st
2004 and June 30th 2006 was eligible to apply for an
award.
Awards
Jury Chair, Stephen Pragnell, said: “This year we saw a record
number of entrants, making the jury’s decisions extremely hard.
The finalists represented
20
dynamic, cutting-edge shopping centres from 15 countries. The
International Council of Shopping Centers’ prestigious 2007 European
Awards are a cross-section of the best and brightest of their kind.
They share common traits: they blend with and complement their
communities, culturally, socially and economically. They reflect
history whilst setting their own new standards and bring new life to
their cities.
He
added: “They also emphasis our ambition to celebrate those centres
which deliver sustainability and efficiency through the use of 21st
Century techniques and technology to achieve their goals. They are
as meaningful in their achievements as they are successful in their
operation.”

Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium

L’esplanade
is the largest mixed-use project ever built in Belgium and the
commercial focal point of a new city, evolving from a university
city into a major regional hub.
The University and local authorities decided to
strengthen the town’s role as a university city and major regional
hub. Belgian developer Wilhem & Co with architects Chapman Taylor,
were commissioned to redevelop a real city centre around a retail
and leisure offer.
A
dialogue committee with the residents was set up at the initiative
of the municipal authorities and the University (free-holder of the
city) to establish a common strategy.
The
result is a tremendous success that rewards an enormous effort by
all those involved.

Recognition 2
Manchester
Arndale, Manchester, UK
Taken
from entrant’s description of shopping centre: “The
redevelopment of Manchester Arndale has been a key driver in the
city’s regeneration following a devastating bomb attack. The
redevelopment has turned a much-criticized yellow tile-clad 1970s
shopping centre into a 21st century retail experience.”
Gross
Leasable Area: 130, 063 sq.m (before 102, 192 sq.m)
Anchor Tenants:
Next, Boots, BHS,
Top Shop, Sports Direct
Developer: PRUPIM, London, UK
Architects: Chapman Taylor LLP, London, UK
Owner: Prudential/CSC, London, UK
Project opened: Original open date: 1979
Expansion opened 2006
The
redevelopment of Manchester Arndale has been a key factor in the
city’s regeneration from the devastating effects of a terrorist bomb
in 1996, and a response to the competitive commercial threat from
surrounding boroughs. Working with a compact centre city location,
building over a service road, and building under a 13-story car
park, developer PRUPIM turned it into a cutting-edge urban shopping
centre.
Ultimately,
Manchester Arndale’s redevelopment is a crowning achievement in its
completion of an economic regeneration following a devastating
event, fulfilling the aims of local government. It exemplifies what
can be achieved by the willing cooperation between private investors
and city authorities, and is an outstanding example of teamwork.
