Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. announced today that it was selected by IKEA Centers to perform project and construction management (PCM) services for a new shopping center in Roncadelle (Brescia), Italy.
The project consists of the construction of a two-level shopping center, fully integrated with the existing IKEA store. The Roncadelle Shopping Center is IKEA Center’s second development in Italy. With a gross built area (GBA) of over 88,000 square meters and an overall gross leasable area (GLA) of 55,000 square meters, it is on target to be the largest shopping complex in the Brescia region. Plans for the center include a hypermarket and 165 shops offering a wide and diverse range of family tailored goods.
The center is expected to be one of the first shopping centers in Italy to obtain low environmental impact certification, based on the BREEAM environmental assessment method and rating system.
Jacobs’ role on the project includes project control, procurement assistance, BREEAM Certification, building information modeling (BIM) coordination, safety coordination and pilotage services for the fit-out of the retail units.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Mark Bello stated, “We are delighted that IKEA Centers has selected us as a business partner for this strategic project. We are committed to continue our successful cooperation during the full duration of this project and beyond to help IKEA Centers create sustainable value for its customers.”
