Context & Issues
The Orio Shopping Centre, on the outskirts of Bergamo, is owned by Commerz Real. The expansion of the Centre was carried out by Italy’s Percassi Group, which was also responsible for the original development of the property and, in addition, owns parts of the new areas.
Artelia was appointed by Commerz Real to perform project monitoring and control activities relevant to the new 35,000 sqm extension, after having provided similar services for the original works over the past few years.
