Hoog Catharijne

Hoog Catharijne is one of the largest shopping centres in the Netherlands and Klepierre’s flagship Dutch asset, integrated with the Utrecht Centraal rail station that handles approximately 200,000 daily passengers as the busiest station in the country. The 110,000-sqm super-regional centre opened in 1973 and has been progressively redeveloped through the multi-decade Utrecht Centraal master-plan completed in 2016 that rebuilt the station infrastructure, the surrounding public realm, and the Hoog Catharijne retail layer.

The format runs across multiple retail levels integrated above and around the rail station infrastructure, with approximately 180 stores spanning fashion, electronics, services, and a substantial food and beverage cluster engineered for the high-volume commuter and traveller traffic that flows through the Centraal interchange. International vertical apparel chains and Dutch specialty retailers populate the tenant lineup at the accessible-mid-market positioning that calibrates the asset for transit-oriented retail behaviour.
