VIA Outlets renews space in Vila do Conde
2019-07-26
VIA Outlets will invest 13 million euros in the remodeling of Vila do Conde Porto Fashion Outlet center, scheduled for September this year, aiming to raise and improve the shopping experience of its visitors and strengthen its positioning of shopping destination in the region North of the country.
The investment in customer service and experience will be one of the pillars of the project, with the renovation of the entire leisure area and services and the creation of a Welcome Desk. The interior architecture of the space will be the target of a major intervention, in order to create an aesthetic harmonization of space and building, which will have greater impact in the two entrances of the center and the food court. The intervention will recover elements of local traditions of Vila do Conde, such as the bobbin lace and the sea, which will reflect in the choice and application of decorative elements, design, in the colors and materials chosen, always combining the traditional with the contemporary .
The concern with energy efficiency is also included in the project, aiming to transform the building into a more sustainable and environmentally friendly space. The circulation and leisure areas will be more enlightened, replacing the existing materials with more energy efficient ones, as well as the air conditioning equipment and networks will be replaced for greater efficiency and less pollution. The sanitary facilities will also be transformed, accompanying the elegance present in this project.
The Vila do Conde Porto Fashion Outlet has been part of the VIA Outlets group since 2016 and registers 5 million visits per year, being the portfolio space of the group with the most visits, with 11 centers in 9 European countries, including Freeport Lisboa Fashion Outlet, remodeled in 2017.
afaplan integrates this project through the Tenders Management, Construction Management and Coordination, Safety Coordination and Environmental Management.
