Unibail-Rodamco, which has operations in 12 countries in Europe, established the Group's European credentials by becoming a European Company in May 2009.

Unibail

Created in 1968 by the Worms group with a Sicomi status, Unibail chose in 1992 to become a owner, developer and manager specialized in shopping malls and offices by concentrating on large-sized and not reproducible assets. Acquisitions concerned big shopping malls from 1992 till 1995 then offices (in particular with Vivendi in 1999). In 2000, a congress-exhibition division was formed after the takeover of Paris Expo. This company was joined to the congress-exhibitions activities of the Chamber of commerce and industry of Paris in 2008 to create Viparis, European leader on its sector.

Rodamco Europe

Rodamco Europe, present in 14 countries, was formed in 1999 from the split in four units of Rodamco, fund created by the Robeco bank, and received all its continental Europe. Rodamco Europe was at once an investor and an owner of stores and dominant shopping malls in its domestic markets in the Netherlands and in Belgium as well as in Scandinavian countries, France, Spain and Central Europe.
