Croix Cedex, France, 2015-11-24 — /EPR Retail News/ — Immochan Portugal’s Alegro Setúbal centre has again attracted the attention of global real estate experts by winning the award for Best Redeveloped Shopping Centre at the 2015 Mapic Awards.
Alegro Setúbal beat off competition from 110 entries in 27 different countries. In its category, the centre’s rivals included the Children Dream House Mall in Moscow, the Guildford Town Centre in Canada and the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai.

Winning this prestigious award strengthens our motivation to be even more dynamic, to create even more highlights in our centre and to promote a better quality of life in the region by offering our customers a living and experience centre they can really enjoy.”
