VIA Outlets, Continental Europe’s fastest-expanding owner-operator of premium fashion outlets by GLA over the past decade, officially opened the 4,000sq m extension to its Sevilla Fashion Outlet yesterday, culminating a €30M project to modernise and evolve the centre since its acquisition in 2016.
With the recent extension, a €17M investment that includes a spectacular glass-covered gallery, Sevilla Fashion Outlet now offers 20,000sq m of prime commercial space.
The extensive remodelling and expansion have transformed Sevilla Fashion Outlet into the premier outlet destination in western Andalusia, attracting premium fashion brand Karl Lagerfeld, Dutch jeans brand G-Star Raw and US leisure leaders Under Armour and Columbia to an all-star line-up of more than 80 national and international fashion and lifestyle brands.
Nike is bolstering its existing presence with a 52 per cent increase in GLA, while Boss will be expanding its GLA by 91 per cent at the centre entrance. The centre is situated in a strategic location next to the airport just outside Seville, southern Spain’s tourist magnet.
Otto Ambagtsheer, CEO of VIA Outlets, said: “A robust uplift in retail sales in Spain this year, despite inflation remaining high, bodes well for Sevilla Fashion Outlet’s future growth. With its wider range of exceptional brands and extensive remodelling, we expect the centre to become a major draw as part of Seville’s tourist scene, helping expand the number of visits from tourists from its current level of 10 per cent of footfall.”
