The digital shopper

The horizons of the hi-tech landscape are constantly expanding and offering new ways of connecting with customers. Shopping centre managers have to react accordingly and promptly, making sure that our attention and budgets are focused in the right directions, as is argued in the Customer Experience Walk section of JLL’s ‘Tomorrow’s Retail’ report.

The shape of shopping to come

The use of technology is one of the obvious increasing trends in the retail sector. Beacons, Wi-Fi, RFID tags, 3D printers, virtual mirrors, inspiration corridors, emotion recognition systems and drones are all becoming part of a retailer’s armoury, claims JLL in the I Have Seen the Future section of its ‘Tomorrow’s Retail’ report.

Channelling the future

ECE Projektmanagement is fully aware of all the latest trends on the retail market. And to keep up with all these changes and continue making the shopping experience even more pleasurable, the German developer and operator has been keeping its focus fixed on food services, entertainment and technological aspects of its shopping centres. How this is to be done is determined by the needs of each specific location

For the love of food

This year ECE Projektmanagement has launched its ‘We Love Food’ campaign to promote the places it is creating in its malls where good food is served. ‘We Love Food’ is also a long-term programme which holds the philosophy that eating is among life’s most important and most pleasant needs.

Time well spent

Although Polish retail real estate might have become a little pricey of late, ECE Projektmanagement Polska still feels that it is a very promising market and is determined to add to its portfolio here if the right opportunity arises. To further improve the centres in its portfolio, ECE has been coming up with innovations and in the meantime has been creating modern and friendly places for shopping. The managing director of ECE Projektmanagement Polska, Leszek Sikora, tells us all about it.

New shopping centre

Flagship sails into Budapest

On November 7th the cornerstone ceremony will be held for Etele Plaza, officially marking the start of the construction of one of the largest shopping centres in Hungary. Groundwork has been underway since May – and now the 137,000 sqm gba centre with 55,000 sqm gla is each day becoming rather more than just the glint in the investor’s eye it once was.
