EUROPEA is: A new mixed quarter integrated into the existing urban landscape; Housing, facilities and offices in a splendid park setting; The Mall of Europe, a shopping and leisure centre unique in Europe
Aimed at combining urban planning objectives with a peaceful and spacious environment, the principle behind Europea takes its inspiration from nature. The bold choice is to create a development of more than 3 hectares offering a shopping centre, offices, services and landscaped walks between the various residential complexes making up the site.
