Naturally integrated to the city of Rio de Janeiro, Shopping Metropolitano Barra is already part of Rio’s scenery, life and routine. The space was designed to propose a harmonious conversation between urban life and nature, where fashion, culture and entertainment can be shared, and trends and tendencies can be discovered. Comfort, beauty and practicality: these are the concepts proposed to value the visitor’s shopping experience. On April 2016, the enterprise was awarded 1st place in the 2016 ICSC (The International Council of Shopping Centers) Project and Development category for Shopping Centers of Latin America.
