Blagnac

About this mall

Close to Toulouse and its airport, Blagnac is the city’s leading shopping center. It benefits enormously from the consumer hotspot generated by Airbus Industries, serving 7.3 million visitors per year. 
Refurbished and extended in 2009, its architectural style borrows many stylistic references from the aircraft industry. Even more attractive after the refurbishment that practically doubled its floor area, its 122 retail units, enormous food court, 15-screen movie theater and multi-level car park offer customers exceptional levels of convenience and comfort.
The mall was opened in 1993 and is owned by Klépierre (53.6%) and BNP Paribas
Assurance through its life insurance company Cardif (46.4%).

The renovaon and extension work on the mall began in May 2007, and represented a total investment of 117.1 million euros for the center’s owners and has led to the creation of 200 full-time equivalent jobs.
It received ICSC Certificate of Merit in 2011.

Features mall architecture

The building’s architectural design pays homage to the aeronautics industry, which has a strong presence on the site with, on the one hand, the airport and, on the other hand, the proximity of several companies from this sector, such as Airbus Industrie and Air France Industries. The materials used for the mall (steel, wood and glass) retrace the technical developments in the world of aircraft.

Imposing 16-metre high awnings hang over the colored glass entrances, letting in the light and brightening up the arrival of visitors with their vibrant colors: blue, green, yellow, orange and pink. The five entrances now in place make it easier for visitors to get around the whole site.

Inside the mall, large windows act as real skylights. Making customers feel welcome and comfortable is key to the project with the creation of rest and relaxation areas.
