The complex is being developed in Germany's southern city of Heilbronn and will provide some 13,000 m2 of retail space across three storeys with 70 shops. It will also include 660 parking spaces. Some 90% of the retail space has already been leased, ING RE said in a press release. 'The Stadtgalerie Heilbronn is an up-scale shopping centre development in one of the most prestigious locations in the city,' said ING's head of European acquisitions Will Rowson.
