ISO Omena
Citycon
Jury motivation
”The winner of this year’s competition for the best shopping centre in the Nordics is a centre that has everything a future-oriented and modern centre should have. In times of disruptive retail, the major trends are accounted for and its offering is adapted to its constantly changing market.
The centre has a clear ambition to be a metropolitan hub for meetings, services, retail and entertainment and has managed to maintain a unified unit while keeping each part of the concept distinct. For the visitor, this means accessibility beyond the ordinary.
Architecturally, the centre is housed in a modern, functional and coherent structure with the various parts well integrated. The value of sustainability has permeated both the project and beyond in both the management and operations. The centre has had great success, as demonstrated in footfall and turnover as well as in strong financial results.
This year’s winner is an excellent example of a future proof “all mall” at its best.”

Jury motivation
”The campaign is very creative and based on influencer marketing, which is so typical of our time. The blogger is amazingly warm and genuine and does a great job of promoting the concept; “everything can be found under the same roof”. A charming and smart way to involve visitors, tenants and services, together with social media, that really promotes the qualities of the center. A truly excellent campaign!”

Jury motivation
”Innovation comes from focus, discipline and patience. These days, everyone is obsessed with squeezing every ounce of personal productivity and self-improvement out of themselves. That only takes you further away from innovation. It’s the big picture that drives you and that’s also what drives you to come up with unique solutions to tough problems. At a time when change is the only constant, this bold new concept might just become an industry game changer.”
