Retail, Leisure or Hospitality Business of the Year

Developer Westfield is due this year to open Bradford’s long-awaited new £260 million shopping centre.

The company started construction work on the Broadway site last year and has a targeted opening before Christmas 2015.

The Australian developer has also completed the sale of its interest to retail real estate investment manager Meyer Bergman, which has drawn international investment from Canada. Westfield Corporation is one of the world’s leading shopping centre companies with iconic retail destinations in London, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles among its portfolio of 40 centres.

Last year approximately 425 million customer visits to Westfield Corporation shopping centres generated $17 billion in retail sales. Westfield shopping centres are highly productive, with strong franchise value and the ability to attract the world’s leading retail brands. They are an essential part of the community’s social and economic fabric.

The group’s strategy is to develop and own superior retail destinations in major cities by integrating food, fashion, leisure and entertainment and by using technology to better connect retailers with consumers.
