Malls giant Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (URW) is continuing to roll out its Westfield brand to more locations and has announced that it’s rebranding three flagship centres under that name.

They include Parquesur in Madrid, Taby Centrum in Stockholm, and Galeria Mokotow in Warsaw that will all be renamed this autumn. 

This continues the expansion of the Westfield brand in Europe as the company “drives new revenues through media advertising and brand experiences, turning its huge footfall of 550 million visits across its European assets into a qualified audience, while also leveraging the Westfield brand’s significant value to retailers, who see over 20% higher sales at URW’s centres even when compared to other A-category malls”. 

Chief Customer Officer Caroline Puechoultres said: “The rebranding of these centres continues our strategy to expand Westfield to flagship European destinations in the wealthiest cities and catchment areas. 

“The significant opportunity afforded to both retailers and brands by this increasingly digitally linked network of destinations is unparalleled – through Westfield our partners can reach tens of millions of European consumers, driving new possibilities in advertising, brand marketing and retail.” 

The company said the newly rebranded trio “share a number of characteristics in addition to being among the most important retail centres in their respective markets: they are set in excellent locations with unrivalled transport options, have distinctive architectural and design features and a best-in-class approach in terms of customer experience, community engagement, and sustainability practices”.

To mark the launch of the new name, each destination will host festive consumer events that will be announced later this year.
