WESTSIDE SHOPPING AND LEISURE CENTRE IS A WORLD CLASS LANDMARK FOR THE CITY OF BERN

First Shopping Center by World Renowned Architect Daniel Libeskind:
Official Opening Oct. 8th and Press Preview Oct. 7th

Westside Shopping and Leisure Centre, an exciting new development designed by famed architect Daniel Libeskind, will open its doors for the first time to the public Wednesday, October 8.  Westside will also hold a press preview and special guided tour on Tuesday, October 7 from 9:30 a.m. – 12 p.m. in Bern-Brünnen, Switzerland. 

Westside is the largest building project in Switzerland and the first shopping center to be designed by Daniel Libeskind.  In addition to the 55 shops, 10 restaurants and bars, hotel, multiplex cinema, water park, wellness center and housing, this mixed-use program radically reinvents the concept of shopping, entertainment and living.  With its impressive location above the A1 autobahn, its direct connection to the S-Bahn urban railway and the BERNMOBIL transport network, Westside will become a meeting place for the whole greater region of Bern and provide a striking gateway to the city.

Westside would like to invite journalists to a special press preview and guided tour one day prior to the official opening.  Anton Gäumann, CEO and Overall Project Manager of Westside and architect Daniel Libeskind will be on site for interviews after a brief presentation.
