History

Täby Centrum was inaugurated in 1968, as the first shopping centre with a glass-vaulted ceiling in the Stockholm area. In 1991, the centre expanded with a 110-metre (360 ft) shopping street three stories tall, covered by an arching glass roof. In 2002, a large-scale plan for renovating and expanding the centre was initiated by the owner, Unibail-Rodamco, in cooperation with the municipality. Carried out in multiple stages and expected to be completed in 2015, this plan would lead to an almost completely new interior, an additional 14,000 m2 (150,000 sq ft) of retail space, and approximately 4,000 indoor parking spaces.[3][1]
