TheGlattzentrum, more formally known as theEinkaufszentrum Glatt orGlatt shopping centre, is ashopping mall located in theGlatt Valley close to theSwisscity of Zurich. Politically, the mall is situated in themunicipality of Wallisellen.[1]
The mall (size in square meters and number of shops unknown) was opened in 1975, being modeled on similar malls in theUnited States. Like its US progenitors, the mall was intended to be accessed bycar, and it is located close to theA1 motorway and provides spacious car parking. In 2010, phase 2 of theStadtbahn Glattal opened, including an elevated tram stop linked to the mall by a footbridge. Before that the public transportation connections were limited to three bus lines (nr. 94, 759 and 787) connecting the center to the railway stationsZürich Airport,Zürich Oerlikon,Dübendorf,Wallisellen andDietlikon.
When built, the mall was jointly owned by theMigros,Globus andJelmoli groups, each of which operated ananchor store within the centre. Today the mall is owned bySwiss Life.[2] The Migros store still exists, as does the (now Migros owned) Globus store, but Jelmoli no longer has any involvement. In addition to the two remaining anchor stores, there are four specialty markets, five restaurants, four bars and 90 specialty shops.
The last renovation of the Glatt shopping center took place between mid-2015 and the end of 2019. The total cost of the renovation was around 100 million Swiss francs. The Glatt Tower, which houses office space and services, rises above the shopping center.HP andHewlett Packard Enterprise have been prominent tenants in the Glatt Tower since 2020.
In front of Glattzentrum is the newly built open-airRichti shopping center.
