More than Shopping
A PERFECT ADDITION:
NONRETAIL
By integrating nonretail offerings that are a good fit for a given location, ECE is creating new reasons to visit our centers and tapping into new target groups – a win-win situation for investors and both new and existing tenants. The nonretail segment makes up a growing share of the tenant and sector mix, alongside restaurants and entertainment amenities.
RELAXATION WITH MYWELLNESS
ECE has a new, attractive tenant from the wellness segment: MyWellness, a company that offers smart wellness suites and exclusive spa experiences throughout Germany. In 2025, it will be opening a branch at the Waterfront-Center in Bremen in a separate 2,500 m² space on the second floor. ECE is also assessing whether other centers could be suitable locations for MyWellness’s expansion plans.
Where Shopping meets Health
From specialist surgeries to day clinics to care facilities: at the Rheinpark-Center in Neuss, owner Union Investment is currently working with ECE to create a modern, fully accessible health center on the third floor spanning an area of more than 12,000 m², which will perfectly complement the existing retail offering on the first and second floors. Visitors will be able to perfectly combine their daily shopping with a visit to the doctor, saving them time and travel. The health center is due to open in 2026. The total investment comes to more than 50 million euros. ECE is already working on plans for medical malls at some of our other centers too. //
SERVICED APARTMENTS IN PLACE OF OFFICES
At Zwickau Arcaden, ECE worked with limehome, Europe’s leading provider of high-tech designer apartments, to install serviced apartments on the third and fourth floors of an adjacent building formerly used for offices. The fully furnished designer apartments, which have been available since March 2024, range from 25 to 45 m² in size and can be accessed directly from the outside.
“Retail is changing more quickly than ever before. Our biggest task is to actively shape this ongoing process of transformation and adapt it to the needs of specific locations.”
