Zlote Tarasy wins 'Retail Destination of the Year'

Warsaw's Zlote Tarasy shopping centre, developed by ING Real Estate, was named 'Retail Destination of the Year' at the annual World Retail Congress in Barcelona last week.

The Retail Destination of the Year category at the World Retail Awards 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 not only a centre for high-end target groups, but a place to be in Warsaw, a destination where all people enjoy spending time.

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.'

The end-investors of Zlote Tarasy are Unibail-Rodamco and the ING Property Fund Central Europe.
