VIA Outlets has completed an extension of its Landquart Fashion Outlet in eastern Switzerland, increasing the scheme’s total leasable area to approximately 27,000 sqm. The project adds just under 5,000 sqm of space, representing an increase of more than 20%.
Located in the Graubünden region, near the borders with Austria and Liechtenstein, the outlet serves both local visitors and tourists travelling դեպի alpine destinations such as St. Moritz, Davos and Klosters.
The extension introduces 15 additional retail and food and beverage units and reconfigures part of the centre’s layout, including improvements to the southern entrance. Following the works, the scheme comprises around 100 stores and more than 170 brands across fashion, lifestyle and sports categories.
Otto Ambagtsheer, CEO of VIA Outlets, said: “Our investment in the new extension of Landquart Fashion Outlet reflects our focused market repositioning of the centre in the past 12 years. Through our 3R strategy of Remodelling, Remerchandising and Remarketing, it has attracted many new premium brands and driven strong growth in brand sales and footfall. Landquart Fashion Outlets’ success is further evidence of the broader trend in pan-European retail markets, with premium brands increasingly drawn to the fashion outlet centre format.”
New tenants include international brands such as Coach, Carhartt WIP, American Vintage, Eleventy, L’Oréal, Läderach and Birkenstock. Existing tenants including Nike, Calvin Klein and PME Legend have expanded or relocated within the scheme. The development also includes what the company describes as the largest Nike factory store in Switzerland.
In parallel with the retail extension, a new multi-storey car park has been delivered, increasing total capacity to approximately 1,550 spaces. The site also includes an electric vehicle charging facility with a mix of fast and standard charging points.
Marianne Wesselo, Regional Business Director at VIA Outlets, commented: “This expansion marks the next step in a journey that began in 2014 when VIA Outlets acquired Landquart Fashion Outlet. Following continuous upgrades in recent years, this new extension enables us to further strengthen the destination as a place where brands can grow and guests enjoy an experience defined by quality, contemporary design, and attention to detail all while advancing the sustainability initiatives that underpin our ambition to reach our Net Zero emissions target by 2050 across the portfolio.”
