“As a company based in Frankfurt, Germany, we are particularly pleased that we were able to see the potential of the entire Palais Quartier complex, including MyZeil Shopping Center, when we acquired it in 2014 and that we have now realized this potential together with ECE. This is what modern, experience-oriented shopping centers look like.”

“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 for Union Investment consisting of seven assets with a volume of approximately €1.5 billion. Even in challenging times, our partnership with ECE has proven to be reliable and solid. This creates a good foundation for future cooperation.”

“The customers’ expectations regarding a shopping center are increasing. At the same time, however, it is difficult, especially for existing malls, to implement costly renovations, technical innovations, and the trend towards digitization and to simply keep up with change. At pep Einkaufs-Center in Munich-Neuperlach, we seized the opportunity, together with ECE, to add a new building to the center – and it was worth it: On average, the frequency of visits and their lengths of stay are now 20% higher than before repositioning, and sales have also increased by almost 10%. Our cooperation with ECE, as a partnership, has always been one where we see eye to eye, and the on-site support has also been excellent.”

“Since being appointed in 2011 as Center Manager for the Königsbau-Passagen shopping center in Stuttgart, we have developed an excellent long-term relationship with ECE. Together we have successfully developed and executed a comprehensive strategy for significantly growing the annual rent roll and achieving full occupancy. In particular, ECE have been able to target tenants from a wide range of national and international premium brands, allowing us to make the center one of the top shopping destinations in Baden-Württemberg.”
