FREY and ROS Retail Outlet Shopping take over Designer Outlet Berlin

FREY and ROS expand their European footprint with the acquisition of Designer Outlet Berlin, setting the stage for an exciting new chapter in its growth and success as a leading premium outlet shopping destination in Germany.

We present our Online Special “Shaping Spaces: Top Placemaking Projects of 2025”.

The approval of the planning permission has paved the way for the large-scale modernization of SILLPARK Innsbruck, to be implemented by fall 2026 while the center operates as normal and without impacting shop opening times. The construction work on the mall began a few days ago, with no restrictions for visitors.

Designer Outlet Parndorf focuses increasingly on overall shopping experience, increased internationalization and a clear positioning as a tourist magnet. In 2025, 6.3 million euros will be invested for even more shopping highlights, optimal infrastructure and sustainable projects.
