Austria’s largest law firm was responsible for the environmental impact assessment and gaining approval for “Phase V”, a project to expand the Designer Outlet Center Parndorf.

Wolf Theiss was involved in many other matters: in addition to handling the administrative proceedings, the financing of the project, the creation of the general planning contract, the general contractor agreement and service contracts, Wolf Theiss was responsible for all contracts with tenants.

Birgit Kraml, expert for real estate and environmental law at Wolf Theiss, coordinated the project in all matters pertaining to public and civil law. The Wolf Theiss team further consisted of Partner Peter Oberlechner and Associate Katharina Dalagianis.

On 11 April 2017, the implementation of the “Phase V” project will be completed, bringing the Designer Outlet Center Parndorf to a total 36,500m² and 160 stores. The Center will also offer a broader range of dining options.

Owing to a massive expansion of the parking lot, the project had to undergo an environmental impact assessment, the first one of its kind for a shopping centre in the region.
