AT THE HEART OF TERRITORIES 2022

Rooftop farming

A downtown saffron farm

The Créteil Soleil shopping center has installed a terrace of nearly 400 sq.m. for urban farming projects on its renovated roof. Actually, it’s a saffron farm with an ecological, educational and social purpose. Growing “red gold” offers the shopping center several exciting prospects, from setting up educational workshops and events to post-harvest tasting sessions and product marketing by Bien Élevées, a purveyor of urban farming produce.

Two soccer fields

That’s the surface area covered by solar panels on the roofs of our La Gavia, Plenilunio and Príncipe Pío shopping centers in Madrid. The system means that 30% of the energy consumed in the common areas of our shopping centers is now self-generated. That’s equivalent to the consumption of 646 households every year! As we continue pursuing our roadmap to 2030, the use of solar energy in our portfolio will be extended to other shopping centers, including Grand Place in Grenoble, France.
