Primark Essen
15,290 sq. m department store refurbishment & fit-out
The new Primark store in Essen is located in a prominent location in the city shopping district. It occupies the previous C&A department store building dating back to the 1940/50’s which was substantially rebuilt in 1970. The adjacent existing office building is now housing Primark Regional Offices.
The project involved a complete refurbishment of the building: internal fit-out of six storeys of retail, back-of-house areas on upper level and five storeys of Regional Offices; provision of new shop fronts and new external signage.
The store provides 8,377 sq. m. of retail space over six levels and incorporates Primark’s latest interior store design features and display fixtures.
The store in total is 15,290 sq. m. and was completed over a 20-week period.
A number of energy-saving and environmentally friendly measures are installed as part of the fit-out. Extensive use is made of Low Energy LED lighting and a full cardboard and plastic recycling facility has been installed. Store lighting is automatically controlled using the Building Management System (BMS).
