Parc 66 wins accolade

China mall Parc 66 has won the 2013 Best of the Best VIVA (Vision-Innovation-Value-Achievement) Sustainable Design and Development Award.

The award was presented as part of the International Council of Shopping Centre’s (ICSC) global awards program at the ICSC annual RECon Conference in Las Vegas. Honouring outstanding examples of shopping centre design, the ICSC Best of the Best Awards bring together the Gold Winners from prior regional competitions to compete for the global title.

Parc 66 previously received the top Gold Award in the ‘New Design and Development’ category and the special ‘Sustainable Design’ award at the ICSC Asia Retail Real Estate World Summit in September 2012.

Located in Jinan, the Benoy-designed Parc 66 takes its theme from the surrounding lakes and springs, embodying a fluid water-themed interior design.

The mall has been designed to use LED light to reduce energy consumption and has a comprehensive recycling and recovery program that treats and supplies recycled water for non-drinking purposes. The cutting edge technology and timeless design brings vibrancy and caters for a new level of luxury for the city’s increasingly affluent community.

“Parc 66 has been recognised with one of the highest honours in sustainable shopping centre design and we are extremely proud of Benoy’s involvement with the development. The ICSC’s prestigious accolade truly embodies Benoy’s commitment to being at the forefront of retail design,” said Benoy’s MD for Asia Simon Blore.
