Getting real in Munich
From October 7 to 9, Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield was in Munich for the 2019 edition of EXPO REAL – Europe's largest real estate and investment trade fair. Retailers, developers, cities and investors from all around the world gather each year at EXPO REAL to connect, discuss and work together to build the cities of tomorrow. With more than 46,000 participants from 76 countries, the 2019 edition was the biggest and most international ever!
As the premier global developer and operator of flagship destinations, we contributed to the discussion about the future of the real estate industry, demonstrating once again our leadership and how much we value our role as urban developers.
More than 80 Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield team members travelled to Munich this year to welcome visitors at our dedicated stand and make use of the extensive opportunities for market orientation and exploration. The ideal setting to work, network, and share insights on the latest industry news, the Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield booth featured a special VR experience and showcased Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier, one of the major and most innovative mixed-use districts in Europe.
