Mills’ fi rst international development, Madrid Xanadu, a Madrid-based pan-<br />
European center, opened May 2003. Madrid Xanadu will provide a platform for<br />
a development pipeline that the company anticipates will enable it to open one<br />
center per year for the next several years. Efforts are currently under way in<br />
Spain and Northern Italy to implement this plan. Mills utilizes the basic tenets<br />
of real estate when selecting its sites: location, government support, keen<br />
tenant interest and a strong local partner.<br />
