Opened in May 2020, the mixed-use shopping destination has succeeded in making it onto the winner’s podium of the highly prestigious Global RLI Awards.
The newest of the five Slovenian centres owned by developer and operator SES Spar European Shopping Centers received the “Global RLI Award” in the “International Shopping Centre – New Build” category in London on 23 September 2021. ALEJA prevailed as the most modern Slovenian shopping destination against other finalists from Serbia, Italy, and China. The prestigious award was virtually presented during an evening gala ceremony.
The “Global RLI Awards”, which are presented by Retail & Leisure International and are highly coveted within the industry, have honoured innovative developments and visionary concepts from the retail and leisure sectors for the last 16 years. This year, as in previous years, the world’s best shopping and leisure destinations were recognised in 13 categories.
“We are all extremely proud to have received this highly prestigious international award! We see this as recognition of our passion for developing vibrant shopping destinations that are of the highest customer relevance,” stated Christoph Andexlinger, Chief Operations Officer of SES, with enthusiasm.
