The Kö-Galerie is an inner-city shopping and office center in Düsseldorf . It is located in Königsallee , after which it was named.
Architecture and development
The Kö-Galerie is based on the Italian “gallerie commerciali” of the 19th century, such as the Galleria Umberto I , in postmodern architecture . Four two-storey shopping streets, named after the cardinal points, lead to a 25 m high, glass-covered domed hall . The main portal on Königsallee is designed as an arcade . One of the segmental arches of the arcade, the one that lies above the main axis of the adjoining shopping arcade , has two floors. About this sheet is a glass oriel arranged with glass dome of the main cornice into a tower-like breaks through the portal to house in the attic. The Kö-Galerie has a total of 20,000 m² of retail space and 30,000 m² of office space.
The gallery opened on September 21, 1986. Walter Brune was the client and architect . In 2006 the Kö-Galerie von Brune was sold to a joint venture led by Merrill Lynch . ECE had a smaller stake in the joint venture . At the end of November 2008, the center management company Gustav announced that they wanted to completely renovate and restructure the shopping center from 2009 onwards, while operations continued. The work for around 40 million euros was largely completed in autumn 2011. The Kö-Galerie was connected to the neighboring Sevens Center shopping center at the end of 2012, integrating the neighboring house at Steinstrasse 11 . In 2014 it was sold to Allianz Real Estate for around EUR 300 million, with ECE Projektmanagement taking over the center management.
