Press release November 22, 2017

12 MONTHS AFTER ITS INAUGURATION, LA GALERIE ESPACES FENOUILLET, WHICH HAS JUST BEEN BREEAM CONSTRUCTION CERTIFIED WITH AN "EXCELLENT" RATING, HAS ESTABLISHED ITSELF AS THE NEW RETAIL AND LEISURE DESTINATION FOR THE NORTHERN TOULOUSE SECTOR

The all-new Fenouillet shopping center opened its doors in November 2016. Since then, six million people have visited this next-generation center, which has successfully attracted major national and international retailers to northern Toulouse, including H&M, Hema, Nike, Cultura, Maisons du Monde, Terranova, Calliope, Blackstore, JD Sport, Intersport, Boulanger, New Yorker, Starbucks, La Grande Récré, the Kinepolis cinema and the fashionable interior design store Søstrene Grene.

With its 110 stores, 26 mid-size units, 10 restaurants, Géant hypermarket, multiplex cinema, 3,000 parking spaces, extensive selection of events with concerts and regular visits by artists and celebrities, La Galerie Espaces Fenouillet has become, in less than 12 months, a leading retail and leisure hub in Toulouse and a highly attractive destination for both retailers and customers.

Very strong commercial development

Seven new retailers have been brought on board recently, further strengthening the retail mix, especially for leisure and services: 24H Fitness (fitness club), Le Comptoir de Mathilde (delicatessen-chocolate store), Sen'do Sushi (sushi bar), Naturalia (organic store), Borea (bakery), Cher Monsieur (barbers) and La Cantine Française (Michelin-starred chef Yannick Delpech's restaurant), which has also opened a wine cellar in the gourmet food court. This diversification has further strengthened the site's commercial appeal, while consolidating its status as the region's leading shopping center.

Environmentally responsible shopping center with "Excellent" BREEAM Construction certification

Committed to its region's sustainable development, La Galerie Espaces Fenouillet has been awarded BREEAM Construction certification this year with an "Excellent" rating.

This certification, the benchmark standard for sustainable construction, highlights the environmental performance of the overall architecture during its construction. The construction materials and techniques used have made it possible to minimize energy and water consumption, reduce carbon emissions and manage the center's waste (e.g. 78% of demolition waste from the extension was recycled). Alongside this, La Galerie Espaces Fenouillet has mapped out sustainable commitments to protecting biodiversity with a range of actions, such as setting up flower meadows, insect hotels, nesting boxes for birds and hives.
