Great praise for the MEC team in the Nordsee Passage came from the highest municipal authority on the occasion of the center's 25th anniversary. In his anniversary speech, Mayor Carsten Feist addressed our colleague Norbert Fels and his team directly: “They brought continuity back to this location. You are a reliable partner”, the mayor praised the MEC team in Wilhelmshaven.
The starting signal is given: After the approved building application has been submitted and the new floor has been installed, the expansion of the area begins. In the coming months, a new branch for Decathlon will be built in our Ostkreuz Center in Oststeinbek. Our construction experts from Technical Property Management put their foot down for our tenant.
Top topic at EXPO REAL and in the current issue of the retail property report: sustainability! Our Managing Director Christian Schröder has a clear stance on this in the current Retail Real Estate Report and pleads for equality in the real estate industry.
Top rankings for our MEC centers: In this year's Shopping Center Performance Report by the consulting firm Ecostra, two of our locations made it into the top 10. The Sieben-Seen-Center Schwerin took 3rd place, Elisen Park Greifswald 8th place. Other of our centers also perform well and are also represented in the ranking.
A milestone in MEC history is celebrating: With the starting signal of the MEC competence center in Saarbrücken, our first branch opened in September 2021. In one fell swoop, 25 new colleagues from the Accounting and Contract Management teams were added. A real enrichment – both professionally and personally.
Welcome to our new commercial trainees, Erik Henzel and Shirley Christy. Having already successfully completed the first week of vocational school at the EBZ - European Training Center for the Housing and Real Estate Industry, they have recently enriched our Düsseldorf MEC headquarters.
It's shooting time! 📷 Since many of our retail properties have changed a lot in the past - be it due to modernization or new dealers - we organized a #photoshoot without further ado. Our center photographer Carlos Albuquerque from Pixel&korn is currently traveling from location to location in order to perfectly present our centers.
As Team MEC, we have been committed to our retail locations every day for 10 years. Fabian Vousten from Commercial Asset Management is also very committed. “Thanks to our successful acquisitions in the past, we have been able to integrate many new locations into our portfolio. The growth during my time at MEC so far is remarkable and makes me proud," says Fabian Vousten.
Earn a lot of money quickly for a good cause, that's what the Rheinhessen Center Alzey said recently. Center manager Chant Agobian faced a special challenge: He competed against an experienced cashier from Kaufland Germany to collect cash - and won. The amount raised, a whopping EUR 1,010.70, went to the DASEIN e.V. hospice association in Alzey.
Our two MEC managing directors Christian Schröder and Sebastian Kienert are currently at the GERMAN COUNCIL CONGRESS in Berlin. This year's event of the German Council of Shopping Places has the motto "Space". It goes without saying that we are there when numerous decision-makers from trade and business discuss the topics and their current developments.
The event "Restart for retail real estate after Corona" by GSK Stockmann and Dr. In Hamburg, Lademann & Partner GmbH is working on what the future of retail real estate might look like. Also on the panel: Our Head of Development Jörg Wege. Together with industry colleagues, he discusses, among other things, the opportunities that arise from all the changes.
Employee development is our success factor at MEC. We are therefore particularly pleased that Angelina Teich is taking over the management of the property management team with immediate effect. She reports to Fabian Stölzle, Head of Commercial Asset Management & Property Management, who previously held the function in addition to his main position.
The red ribbon is through: Kaufland has opened its doors to Rheinhessen Center customers. Within the past few weeks, the former Real space has been made fit for our new anchor tenant. Modern colors combined with light wood and the new lighting concept ensure a pleasant shopping atmosphere.
The average size of our more than 80 retail properties is 25,000 m². Our largest center in terms of area is the Ostsee Park Rostock with an area of more than 60,000m² and 70 specialist markets - including GLOBUS, Douglas, Esprit and Media Markt.
Moving forward together is our motto. In the #TeamMEC, what matters is the interaction and the individual strengths of all colleagues and specialist disciplines. Our interdisciplinary existing teams live this every day. They are made up of commercial asset management, center management and leasing management or property management and technical management. One object, one team, one strategy, always an individual solution.
Wow! We are happy to have more than 1,000 followers and a strong LinkedIn community. In the past few months, this has grown significantly. Thumbs up for that! 👍🏻
Thank you for being there and thank you for your support.
MEC is now a member of the ICG Institute for Corporate Governance in the German real estate industry. The association is all about value-oriented and sustainable corporate culture in the real estate industry.
For cyclists from the Neubrandenburg region, everything revolved around our Bethanien Center on Sunday – in the truest sense of the word. Because the PSV90 Neubrandenburg bike race of the same name ensured that a total of over 150 athletes pedaled. Lots of spectators didn't miss it.
Interdisciplinary cooperation is what makes the MEC team what it is. This means that we solve challenges with the expertise of colleagues from different disciplines. In a workshop, our technical experts and our rental specialists therefore focused on clearly defined interfaces in our processes and a smooth flow of communication.
Our colleague Lea Sabel recently became a leasing manager. Because she successfully completed her 18-month #trainee! 🎉
Always by your side from the start: Vanessa Fey and Matthias Essmann. As mentors, they introduced Lea to the job as a leasing manager, supported her individually and provided her with practical knowledge.
