Modular shopping centres and stores
With the Pacarada Modular Building System, shopping centres, supermarkets and specialist stores can be built with large sales areas and few columns. Homes or offices can be built above. One plot is used twice.
What the system does for your retail property
- Large areas on the ground floor: Columns and beams create wide spaces for sales, storage and deliveries.
- Retail and housing on one plot: In Liederbach am Taunus, 30 apartments were built from 33 modules above a refurbished supermarket.
- Short construction time: The components arrive finished from the factory. The time to opening gets shorter.
- Adaptable: If the tenant or the range changes, areas can be converted or extended.
Typical projects
Shopping centres and retail parks, supermarkets and local stores, rows of shops, homes and offices above stores, and parking decks.
The system behind it: made in Germany
Every building is based on the same system. Columns and beams, wall and floor elements and finished room modules are bolted and plugged together at the internationally patented Cube. The Pacarada Modular Building System is engineered and manufactured in Germany. It is open to clients, architects, municipalities and contractors who want to build with it. You will find all data on the Facts and figures page.
