Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Germany

Rebranding event #WestfieldRuhrPark – we are still thrilled about the rebranding event last week. The shopping and leisure destination in Bochum is now part of the Westfield network of Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield in Germany. And just in time for the 60th anniversary of the centre.   The big highlight of the rebranding event was the concert by singer-songwriter #NicoSantos. The 31-year-old Nico Santos performed his greatest hits in front of 3,000 fans who had successfully taken part in a ticket draw. The evening concluded with a spectacular show in which the old logo was ceremoniously replaced by the new one. Over the weekend, the centre welcomed the local community with even more promotions and activations.   Westfield Ruhr Park is now one of the 39 Westfield flagship destinations in the US and Europe, a unique platform of the best shopping and lifestyle destinations that stand for exceptional brand and concept mixes, exciting brand experiences, emotional events, and marketing campaigns, as well as industry-leading services and sustainability standards. The concert with Nico Santos is impressive proof of the appeal of the Westfield brand.   Once again, we would like to thank all our guests, partners and the entire Westfield Ruhr Park community for the fantastic event. We are convinced that we can continue and expand the centre's great success story with the new brand identity. The combination of the international reputation of the Westfield brand and the local tradition of the centre in Bochum will further increase the attractiveness of the asset and at the same time give the entire city of Bochum and the surrounding region even more appeal.   We look forward to the future of Westfield Ruhr Park.   #reinventbeingtogether #rebranding #urw #urwgermany

EVENT: Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield Germany celebrates the kick-off to an exciting year for #RuhrPark in Bochum. We hosted a B2B event with more than 100 guests from retail, dining, entertainment and partners from the city to share and discuss our thrilling future plans for the destination! There's a lot coming up at Ruhr Park this year.    – 2024 is a special year: Ruhr Park is celebrating its 60th anniversary and looks back on an impressive history. As one of the oldest shopping centers in Germany, Ruhr Park has enjoyed an impressive development and is now widely considered as one of the strongest and most attractive shopping and leisure destinations in Germany.  – Westfield comes to Ruhr Park: In September, Ruhr Park will be rebranded as #WestfieldRuhrPark. With the new name and the Westfield brand, quality of the destination will be upgraded to new standards in the fields of lifestyle, shopping, dining and leisure activities.   For example, our new leisure partner, Boda Borg Germany, was also presented at the B2B event. Guests had the opportunity to experience the unique Questing Experience live on an area of more than 3,000 sqm - an absolute first in Germany.   There are also plans to reinvent and redesign the dining area: with a new dining world, high-quality design and innovative concepts inspired by the nearby forests and nature. The project will start in 2025.   We discussed all these exciting topics with our guests. A welcome address was given by Paul Douay, Director of Operations Austria & Germany as well as Ruhr Park’s first developer, Peter Fuhrmann. In addition, a key highlight of the day was a panel discussion with Steven Sarwar (The Ash), Kiki Aweimer (Kikis Kitchen), Jan Krimphove (Boda Borg), Juergen Knoth (Bochum Wirtschaftsentwicklung), as well as Constantin W.
