the McArthurGlen <strong>Retail</strong> Academy,<br />
which helps brands hone all aspects<br />
of retailing, from staffing and training,<br />
to inventory management, pricing,<br />
merchandising, store design, and, in<br />
particular, customer service. In fact,<br />
Decouvelaere and other MCG executives<br />
have strong retail backgrounds.<br />
His experience includes positions with<br />
the Printemps department store chain<br />
and luxury textile company Dormeuil,<br />
where he launched a line of bespoke<br />
men’s suits.<br />
When completely tenanted, the €100<br />
million center – MCG’s sixth in three<br />
years – will have 110 tenants.<br />
Located in Spata, 30 minutes from<br />
central Athens, the center is designed<br />
in the neoclassical style in pale pinks<br />
and soft yellows, with stone flooring<br />
and fountains. The buildings, composed<br />
of scaled-down urban units<br />
rather than a monolithic shopping<br />
structure, are extensively varied and<br />
form a succession of open air spaces<br />
and sheltered walkways leading to<br />
shops, clearings, seating areas and<br />
cafés. Although the center has two<br />
levels – three, really since the 1,350<br />
parking spaces are underground – the<br />
project’s pleasing scale helps <strong>Designer</strong><br />
<strong>Outlet</strong>s Athens fit aesthetically into<br />
the area’s residential and agricultural<br />
surroundings. The center’s architectural<br />
elements include small roofs, pergolas,<br />
small doorways and differentiation of<br />
each shop unit.<br />
The main thing about this center, Decouvelaere<br />
said, is that “It’s just a very<br />
cool place. You just have to see it.” c<br />
