To this is added a high purchasing power of visitors and a location that promises to signs accessibility and high visibility" added Virginia Chambon, Head of Retail Agency at Cushman & Wakefield.

INFINITY presents itself as a "new urban space'. Thanks to the diversity of the project, the site will not stop at the close of business: the concept proposes to strengthen the attractiveness and usability of public spaces by creating the first open public square in Kirchberg where it will be possible to enjoy the entertainment terraces and commercial spaces.
Besides 6,500m² of retail space, 150 apartments and office space of 6,800m² will be spread over the future building project. The start of construction is scheduled in March 2017 for an expected delivery in mid-2019. The commercialisation of INFINITY LIVING, the residential tower, will officially begin on 19 September 2016. The Unicorn and Inowai Residential agencies have begun to fix the first appointments.
