ECE Shopping Center

Loom Bielefeld

As part of a major refurbishment, City Passage, which opened in 1977, was converted into a modern and attractive shopping center with around 110 shops covering about 26,000 m² of retail space. With a new appearance, the center also received a new name: Loom Bielefeld. The location is perfectly integrated into Bielefeld’s city center and connects the city’s central shopping avenues. The showpiece of the 135 million euro project is an elliptical plaza, which is straddled by an impressive glass dome.

Adigeo Verona

In the Italian tourist destination of Verona, we constructed the city’s first shopping center. Adigeo offers its visitors an attractive mix of Italian retail concepts and international retailers, many of whom are new to the region. In 2019, ICSC awarded Adigeo the “European Shopping Center Award” for being best new development. It was also the first shopping center in Italy to receive platinum “LEED certification” because of its performance in regard to sustainability in various areas.

Main-Taunus-Center Sulzbach

Food Garden instead of department store: The new Food Garden, consisting of five free-standing restaurant buildings with partly covered and partly open terraces, attractively landscaped outdoor areas and sophisticated architecture, opened  in April 2025 in the Main-Taunus-Zentrum in Sulzbach near Frankfurt am Main. The Food Garden was created on the site of a demolished department store. The Main-Taunus-Zentrum is one of the largest and highest-turnover shopping centers in Germany.

Zielone Arkady Bydgoszcz

Zielone Arkady is our largest project in Poland and the largest shopping center in Bydgoszcz and the region. In addition to numerous internationally known shops and labels, it is also quite architecturally impressive. The most distinctive point is the west entrance: Visitors enter the building through an entrance hall that is almost 30 meters high and has the form of a crystal rising into the sky. Another architectural highlight is the atrium at the south entrance of Zielone Arkady. Its theater-like structure with boxes and grandstands on three levels creates a large space for activity on the ground floor. Clear the stage for center events and performances!

Potsdamer Platz Arkaden Berlin

Together with Brookfield Properties, we are creating Berlin's new top address for gastronomy and shopping in the heart of the capital. As part of the complete repositioning of the arcades, a shopping centre with international high street flair is to be created, which will house around 90 shops and flagship stores of well-known brands from the technology, sports & entertainment, science & beauty, mobility & leisure and gastronomy sectors.

Successful shopping partnerships

"As a company based in Frankfurt, we are particularly pleased that we saw the potential of the entire Palais Quartier complex, including the MyZeil shopping center, when we acquired it in 2014 and have now realized it together with ECE.

Markus Wickenträger, Managing Director DWS

"Union Investment and ECE can look back on more than 15 years of partnership in the management of shopping centers. ECE currently manages a portfolio of seven assets for Union Investment with a volume of around €1.5 billion for Union Investment. Even in challenging times, the partnership with ECE has proven to be reliable and solid. A good basis for future cooperation."

Norman Naehrig, Senior Asset Manager Union Investment Real Estate

"Customers' expectations of shopping centers are getting higher. At the same time, however, it is difficult for existing malls in particular to implement and keep up with costly conversions, technical innovations and the digitalization trend. At the pep shopping center in Munich-Neuperlach, we took the opportunity together with ECE to expand the center with a new building - and it paid off: on average, footfall and length of stay are now 20% higher than before the repositioning and sales have also increased by almost 10%. I have always experienced the cooperation with ECE as a partnership and on an equal footing, and the on-site support was excellent."

Niklas Baldauf, Portfolio Manager Nuveen Real Estate

"Since our appointment as Center Manager for the Königsbau-Passagen in Stuttgart in 2011, we have built up an excellent and long-term relationship with ECE. Together, we have successfully developed and implemented a comprehensive strategy to significantly increase Annual rents and achieve full occupancy. In particular, ECE has succeeded in attracting a large number of national and international premium tenants, enabling us to turn the center into one of the top shopping addresses in Baden-Württemberg."
