New shopping center for the city of Bielefeld
ECE is building the “Loom” starting October 2015 - Opening 2017
Like many other current projects the construction of the "Loom" means no new development of a site but rather a modernization to meet today's customers requirements. The old "City Passage" will therefore be partly demolished, the remaining parts then extensively modernized, redesigned and expanded.
Focus on fashion
After its completion the "Loom" will provide a modern mix of brands and products, with a particularly high number of tenants from the fashion sector. But not only big brands will move into the new center, many local retailers have already expressed an interest. Some of the current tenants of the old "City Passage" will also remain on site and open new salesrooms in the "Loom".
Connection between center and city with gastronomic offers
Opening of the new center in 2017
After the reconstruction works which start in January 2016 are completed, the opening of the modernized center is then planned in fall 2017. "We are very pleased with the Loom. The shopping center will be a focal point for the city", says Dr. Sandra Harms, Project Manager at ECE.
