Bilfinger Berger receives new building construction orders worth €200 million

Following the recent contract award for one of Germany's largest inner-city shopping centers in Essen, Bilfinger Berger now announces further successes in the building construction business.

In Passau, the Company will carry out the turn-key construction of the Stadt-Galerie. The order volume for this ambitious development project from ECE Projektmanagement amounts to €60 million. Construction work begins in October 2006 and the shopping center is to be opened in fall 2008. 21,000 square meters of retail space, spread over three levels, provide an attractive location for up to 90 shops.

In Duisburg, Bilfinger Berger is building the Forum, another inner-city shopping center. The client is Multi Development Germany, the volume amounts to €85 million and Bilfinger Berger is the technical leader for the turn-key construction. The opening is planned for fall 2008. The shopping center will include 120 shops with a total of 60,000 square meters, creating a new focal point for retail activity in the inner-city. A few steps away, Bilfinger Berger is currently building the striking CityPalais for the Landesentwicklungsgesellschaft NRW with a concert hall as well as office and retail space.

Bilfinger Berger is following its long-standing client, MAN, abroad. In Niepolomice, Poland, the Company is carrying out the turn-key construction of MAN's new truck assembly plant. Four production halls with a total of 65,000 square meters of surface area plus adjoining buildings are being built. The order volume amounts to €50 million.

The basis for these successes are individual solutions which Bilfinger Berger offers its clients for every phase in the life-cycle of a property. The consulting, construction and services package bundled together under the i.volution brand includes development, design, construction, operation and revitalization.
