CaixaBank Completes Construction of Torre Sevilla Shopping Centre

18 December 2017 – Eje Prime

The complex, which has been designed by the architecture studio Broadway Maylan, comprises two large buildings, which have a combined gross leasable area of 26,700 m2.

CaixaBank is ending the year by finishing its projects. The company has completed construction of the Torre Sevilla shopping centre after investing €20 million, according to a statement issued by the group. The termination of this work, in which 800 professionals have participated, makes way for the final phase of the project, ahead of the imminent handover of the shops to the various retailers.

The company is now starting the work required to prepare the access routes from the street to establish the entry points. The remodelling work has included efforts to adapt the structure, air conditioning architecture and installations, electricity, lighting and mechanics, as well as, the regulation of all of the access points to the centre from the street and the parking lot.

They have also included the creation of new outdoor common areas for the movement of people; the installation of four escalator hubs that connect the different floors; and the placement of open-air walkways to connect the two buildings and to encourage the free movement of people between the retail spaces on both sides.

The complex has been designed by the architecture studio Broadway Maylan and comprises two large buildings, with a gross leasable area of 26,700 m2 and a constructed surface area of 43,000 m2. One of the buildings has three floors and the other has four floors. In total, there is initially space for eighty shops.

Primark To Open 5,100 m2 Store In Torre Sevilla Shopping Centre

22 September 2017 – Mis Locales

The Irish multi-national fashion retailer, Primark, has chosen the Torre Sevilla shopping centre as the location for the opening of its first large urban store in Sevilla. Work to adapt the premises will begin this month.

The company’s choice of Torre Sevilla is due to the location of the shopping centre, close to the city’s Old Town and the metropolitan area of the capital.

Primark will be one of at least 80 stores, ranging from fashion, technology, sports, adventure, health and beauty, as well as restaurants and a state-of-the-art gym, that will open in the Torre Sevilla shopping centre.

CaixaBank has made a total investment of €20 million in the shopping centre. In terms of employment, more than 800 jobs have already been created, and an additional 1,500 direct and indirect jobs are expected to be generated when the commercial space is fully operational.

The shopping centre was designed by the architecture studio Broadway Maylan, which has received several international awards for urban planning, design and architecture projects. The property comprises two large buildings, which will have a combined gross leasable area of 25,000 m2.
