For the construction of the passage, several buildings had to be demolished since 2003. The building excavation had a depth of 24 metres on an area of 12,000 square metres. An 80 cm diaphragm wall up to a depth of 35 metres was used to hold back the ground water from the pit. Historical buildings close to the excavation had to be protected during construction.
The passage is directly connected to
Jungfernstieg station by a pedestrian tunnel. Europa Passage won the MIPIM Awards for shopping centres in 2007.
