Le Gru

Le Gru is Klepierre’s flagship Italian asset and the dominant shopping centre of the Turin metropolitan area, operating in Grugliasco on the western edge of Turin urban metro. The 75,000-sqm super-regional centre opened in 1993 and has been continuously expanded across multiple phases, with the current configuration housing approximately 250 stores across two retail levels organised around a central piazza atrium.

The format combines a hypermarket anchor on the lower level with extensive fashion volume across both retail floors, plus a substantial dining and entertainment cluster including a multiplex cinema. Apple, H&M, Zara, Primark, Decathlon, and the full international vertical apparel roster feature prominently, with Le Gru’s tenant intensity tracking among the strongest in any Italian super-regional outside the Milan and Rome metros.

The catchment is privileged by the absence of a comparable competitor across the Turin metropolitan area. The nearest super-regional alternative is Vicolungo The Style Outlets 60 kilometres east at outlet format, and the next regional centres in Turin metro (I Viali at Nichelino and the smaller suburban formats) operate at materially smaller scale. Le Gru effectively monopolises the Turin metro super-regional segment, drawing catchment from the entire Piedmont western belt.

Within Klepierre’s pan-European portfolio of around 75 properties, Le Gru is the largest Italian asset by GLA and the operator’s most consistently flagged Italian flagship. The property anchors the operator’s Italian portfolio alongside Centro Commerciale Roma Est, with the two assets serving as the Klepierre brand’s principal Italian commitments.
