Maximilian Center Progress on new shopping center in Bonn city
Bonn · The covers have been removed, the construction fence at Maximilian Center has almost completely disappeared and the facade is becoming more and more visible. The new building opposite Bonn Central Train Station is nearing completion.
Just two months ago, project developer Ten Brinke celebrated a topping out ceremony for the new Maximilian Center which will house stores and businesses. Since then, great strides have been made towards its completion. Most of the work is now being done on the interior where significant progress is also being made.
The owner of the Maximilian Center will be the Bayerische Versorgungskammer (BVK), based in Munich. It will acquire the building for 112 million euros once it has been handed over to the future tenants. The main tenant will be the low-cost fashion retailer Primark, which plans to open its store in the fall of 2019. But a number of people have criticized the shopping center's façade, which faces the bus station and appears quite bulky or overpowering due to the lack of window openings.
