Supermarket chain ALDI is opening a new store in Zwolle Zuid
Altera adds supermarket ALDI to Zwolle Zuid shopping centre. The contracting of ALDI, for which several premises will be merged, will further increase the share of stores in the shopping centre where people can buy their daily groceries to over 78%. ALDI will open its new store, which has a floor area of 1,345 m², in the summer of 2023.
Zwolle Zuid shopping centre is the place to go for south Zwolle’s daily shopping, with a complete range of food & convenience and a good ratio of local entrepreneurs and chain stores, including Lidl, Albert Heijn, Kruidvat and Action – shortly to be joined by ALDI. The shopping centre provides for the district’s retail needs and has a primary catchment area of roughly 30,000 residents.
Zwolle Zuid is a prime example of a future-proof shopping centre, which fits in perfectly with the investment strategy. Altera remains committed to the further growth of the supermarket share of its convenience portfolio.
Erwin Wessels, CIO Altera: “Over the past period we have been working with ALDI to locate a third supermarket in our centre. With the conclusion of a long-term lease, work can now start on building the new ALDI supermarket. In addition, the mix and variety of national and local retailers and neighbourhood support facilities provides an important contribution to the social cohesion and attractiveness of the neighbourhood.”
Sustainability
During the alteration work, construction waste will be recycled and the necessary sustainability improvements will be made, including making the store gas-free, heating the premises using heat recovery (residual heat from refrigeration), the use of LED lighting and installing HR++ glazing and revolving air lock doors.
Altera was advised by Colliers Property Management B.V. during the rental transactions with the existing tenants.
