McArthurGlen Group, Europe's leading owner, developer and manager of designer outlets, was founded in Europe by the Kaempfer Partners in 1993. The pioneer of designer outlet retailing in Europe, McArthurGlen has since developed 685,000 sq m of retail space. The company currently manages 25 designer outlets in 8 countries: Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the UK delivering total portfolio revenues of 5 billion euros a year. The centres are home to the most sought-after luxury and premium brands, and offer nearly 100 million fashion-loving customers year-round savings in vibrant, open-air shopping environments. In 2013, McArthurGlen became a joint venture between the Kaempfer Partners and Simon Property Group Co. (NYSE SPG), a global leader in the ownership of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations.
