One of Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield most prominent properties in the Netherlands is the Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, which opened in March 2021. The mall is located in Leidschendam, near The Hague, and features over 280 shops and restaurants, as well as a cinema and other entertainment facilities. In addition to its retail properties, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield is also involved in several development projects in the Netherlands, including the transformation of the Amsterdamse Poort shopping center in Amsterdam-Zuidoost into a mixed-use development with residential, office, and retail space.

URW is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility in all of its operations, and its properties in the Netherlands are no exception. For example, the Westfield Mall of the Netherlands features several sustainable design elements, such as a green roof and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.

The project in the background of this post is called Sisters, located in the heart of La Défense (Paris) next to the Grande Arche. Sisters is an ambitious mixed-use project designed by French architect Christian de Portzamparc that will provide occupants with modern services and amenities. The highest tower of the two will include next-generation offices offering loggias and gardens – unique for a high-rise building. The lower tower will be home to an upscale hotel. One hundred metres above ground, a suspended bridge will link the two towers and offer exceptional amenities: a business centre, a restaurant and sky-bar, a gym and a swimming pool. A terrace will also be available, allowing occupants to enjoy breathtaking views of La Défense.

The RECG is looking forward to further cooperation with European commercial real estate company Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield. For more information regarding Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield you can take a look on their website: https://www.urw.com/en
