Meet our leadership team
Founded in 1993 by the Kaempfer partners, McArthurGlen opened Europe's first designer outlet, Cheshire Oaks, in 1995, followed by Troyes later that year - and has since continued to shape the designer outlet sector across Europe.
Today, our portfolio spans more than 600,000 square metres across 22 destinations in Austria, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK and Canada.
In 2013, McArthurGlen became a joint venture between the Kaempfer Partners and Simon Property Group, Inc (NYSE: SPG), a global leader in premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations.
