DTZ appoints as leasing agent for Immochan’s Coresi Shopping Center

Immochan, the real estate division of the Auchan Group, has appointed DTZ Echinox to provide leasing services for the largest project in their portfolio, Coresi Shopping Center in Brasov.

Coresi Shopping Center will be located on the grounds of the former Tractorul industrial platform. Construction of the shopping mall will begin this year and it expands over 24 hectare of land out of the total 100 hectares which Immochan bought. The project features a 16,000 sq m Auchan hypermarket – the largest in Transilvania region, a 25,000 sqm GLA shopping mall and a parking with 3,000 places. The company will invest €55-60 million in developing the first phase of the shopping mall in Brasov, due to be delivered at the end of 2013.

“We have announced recently that we have the pleasure to develop, together with Auchan, a major, unique and attractive retail project in Brasov, Coresi Shopping Center. Our ambition is an opening in December 2013, to provide to our customers of Brasov County a new and much needed place of shopping experience and leisure. By choosing the experimented team of DTZ Echinox as partner for the leasing process, Immochan gives itself the means to reach this ambitious goal.” David Rosseel, Commercial Director, Immochan Romania.

“Brasov city accounts for a significant retail potential, which has not been fully valued until now. Coresi Shopping Center will be the first real mall in the city, with an extended catchment area of over 400,000 inhabitants."
