Hamburg, September 19, 2013 – The Wandsbek Quarree shopping center in Hamburg is celebrating its 25th anniversary starting September 19. For ten days, visitors can enjoy special anniversary offers, prize draws, and various entertainment activities. On Sunday, September 29, a childcare service will be available for young visitors from 1 PM to 6 PM.
Martin Mörl, Managing Director of Prelios Deutschland GmbH, which manages the center on behalf of Union Investment Real Estate GmbH, Hamburg, commented:
“We look back on the past 25 years with great joy. With many exciting activities and giveaways, we want to thank all our visitors—because they have made Quarree the heart of Wandsbek.”
Mörl added:
“We’ve come up with something special for Facebook: exclusively there, we are giving away a weekend trip for two to St. Peter-Ording, including two overnight stays.”
Frank Klüter, Center Manager of Wandsbek Quarree, highlighted the center’s appeal:
“Our guests particularly love the fresh market and seasonal events, such as ‘Tanz in den Mai’ and ‘Grüne Woche.’ Together with our long-standing tenants, we will continue to ensure that Quarree remains an attractive meeting place for all Wandsbek residents.”
Continuous Investment in the Future
To maintain its appeal, Wandsbek Quarree has seen significant investments in recent years. These include:
- New elevators and escalators
- A modern waste disposal system
A Diverse Shopping and Service Destination
Beyond its diverse retail stores, restaurants, and a cinema, Wandsbek Quarree also offers:
- A daycare center with 120 places
- Northern Business School
- A blood donation service where over 70,000 blood donations are made annually
Conveniently located for public transport, the shopping center first opened in 1988 and is fully leased. It expanded in 2000 with a cinema and added 7,500 square meters of additional retail space in 2010.
In June 2013, Wandsbek Quarree was recognized as one of four Prelios-managed properties in Hamburg to receive the “Customer Oscar” from the RAL Quality Association for Building Cleaning, honoring exceptional cleaning standards and fair working conditions.
